For Allergic Rhinitis "Have terrible post nasal drip. Claritan is the only thing that works. No generics as good. Do find that the med works half the time it says it does;12 hr works for 6, 24 ? About 8. I take 12 hr twice a day in spring and fall. Deal with the hrs it's not working. Doesn't interfere with my sleep."

For Nasal Congestion "Works great only one I get anymore. Clears me up all day I forget I have a cold. The one one with psuedoephedrine you have to sign for only. It is a painful process to go thru but works the best. I have horrible sinuses all my life this stuff is such a miracle relief"

For Nasal Congestion "Two years ago in the spring I had bad allergies with a stuffy nose so I tried Claratin D for a few weeks. I had lots of energy , heart palpitations , insomnia and anxiety. Then I started breaking out in a rash so I stopped taking the Claratin. It seems like the Claratin made me develop more allergies because I break out in hives almost daily since I took it. Wished I had never taken it."

For Nasal Congestion "I used the 12-hour version. It works, but not for 12 hours. Lasted only about 3 hours, then symptoms returned. So, having to wait until the 12 hours is up to take more really sucks. Needs to be an every 4 hours drug."

For Nasal Congestion "I get migraines before thunderstorms (also get them frequently anyway). I switched to Claritin D 24 hour because Zyrtec D 12 hour, while good for allergies, wasn’t relieving the pressure in my head during a thunderstorm or barometric change in the weather. I took the Claritin around 6pm and it’s thunderstorming at 11:38 pm and for sure the Claritin prevented me from getting a headache. Also relieved sinus pressure. I can tell this med can interfere with sleep but I have to take sleep medicine anyway so insomnia isn’t a concern for me. I will try to this medicine a few hours before thunderstorms are supposed to start. It’s great, I just wish it was cheaper."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My experiences have been hit or miss. Sometimes I will take Claritin D and immediately feel better. Other times like this one now that has led me to this thread... I have had congestion and watery eyes for 24 hours. Now after taking Claritin D my nose won’t stop running and my eyes are even worse. This has happened before so I will be switching allergy medications soon."

For Nasal Congestion "My doctor recommended Claritin-D since I have been having problems with my ears relating to allergies. I took one pill at night thinking it would make me drowsy when it did the exact opposite. I was wide awake the entire night, my heart was racing and I was beyond jittery. I even felt paranoid at one point. I took one of my hydroxyzine pills in hopes it would help, it didn’t. I already have anxiety and I felt like I was on the verge of having a panic attack on this medicine. The next day I feel dizzy still and my mouth is dry. I would not recommend this medicine at night especially if you already have anxiety."

For Nasal Congestion "Use to work like a charm for me. Now it doesn’t really begin to work until 3 days later. Anyways I just recently have a allergy flare up. And it didn’t begin to work until day 4. Basically I was doing Claritin D 24 every night with without any relief so I began taking a plain Claritin in the morning. Instant relief taking both butr I’m no sure it’s recommended. Anyways now my ear has been clogged for 3 days. Even after trying Claritin D , Flonase, saline spray, no relief. A doctor now has me on Sudafed for my ear clogging. Let’s see if this works"

For Allergic Rhinitis "Took it for a severe seasonal allergy attack about 9:30 this morning. It knocked out the allergies but knocked me out also. It’s 3:55 and I just woke up but my head is foggy, body is wobbly, and I can hear the blood pulsing through my head. Probably about to go back to sleep, staying awake is taking too much effort. Too strong for me. Husband takes it regularly with no side effects."

For Nasal Congestion "I take the 24 hour CVS brand (Claritin D) ONLY when I'm really bad congested. And I also get post nasal drip when my allergies act up. It works 100 percent clears up my nose and stops the post nasal drip. Also helps with my headache to I get from my allergies acting up. I definitely experience the jitters and dry mouth.. I have an anxiety disorder so that's the part I don't because the jitters makes me fill more anxious. It does not effect my sleep like I read it does others. I take it every blue moon only when I'm really bad congested. I can handle the side effects."

For Nasal Congestion "My Doctor recommended this to me because both my ears are congested. I'm not used to really taking medications . Just tylenol and motrin. So my first hour after taking it, I felt super nervous. My heart was pounding , felt like it was going to burst through my chest and my breathing was really weird. Then later that night, I could not sleep for the life of me. I kept tossing and turning. Basically stayed up watching t.v.. My fiance asked it I had been up all night. I was up for more that 24hrs. I took 2 melatonin the night after and I fell asleep. Woke up with a headache and dizziness. Mind you, I have anxiety. It triggered it. First time trying it and would not recommend it to anyone. YOU WILL NOT SLEEP"

"Works moderately well. Scary side effects are leg (only) muscles flutter (twitch) on their own. Stopping the product only lessens the original damage. Ruled out other drugs by stopping everything. Taking it on its own, the leg twitching is back full-throttle, but I can breathe better, and the itchy nose disappears."
