It did work but after 1 week of taking it (lowest dose, 1/eventin), after progressively feeling wierd & bit nauseous 2 hours after taking it, one night I just passed out. I went to tell my husband I didn't feel right and boom - next thing I know I'm laying on my back looking up at the ceiling. He said I was 'out" for about a minute. Went off the drug immediately. I later read in the PDR this was an 'uncommon' side effect. Published: April 12, 2008 ::

For more than 15 years I did try evething (Allegra, Zyrtex, Claritin, ect) and I can testify that this MED is the first one I have seen the inmediate relief... Published: March 18, 2008 ::

My dust mite allergy requires year-round help. Clarinex has provided a prophylaxis effect now for over 8 years w/o side effects. Optional drugs were ineffective (Zyrtec, Allegra, etc) and decongestant forms decreased alertness noticeably. Published: February 14, 2008 ::

I've taken this for 3 yrs,it works great! I have tried more current rx's but nothing that works as well and withoutside effects. I maybe have a dry mouth at times, that's all. Published: December 16, 2007 ::

I tried every allergy med as they came on the market. Even Claritin only worked marginally. Doc moved me to Clarinex when Claritin went generic, and I have never been healthier and happier.....but the insurance companies all want to take it away! Please, will someone please tell them it really DOES work better? It is "metabolized", so it's effects are quicker and stronger, esp. if you also take meds for acid stomach.....less acid, harder to digest things....docs understand this, but pharmacies don't seem to get it!

i've been taking Clarinex for several years now for my year-long allergies. this is the only drug i have found to work for me. you have to take it for several months to notice a difference. the only side effect i've experienced from it is a terrible dry mouth. i drink lots of water and suck on alot of mints or candy.

I have taken it for 5 days now ,my symptoms are still there Published: November 06, 2007 ::

I've been taking Clarinex (5mg) for 8 years. I tried Allegra & Zyrtec...no luck. I'm allergic to chicken, beer yeast, and 7 molds. My symptom is itching under the skin, which result in hives. My doctor put me on 25mg at first and it made me very sleepy. I take it about every 2-3 days and it works great for me. However, the insurance company is wanting me to try something else...they need proof that I have tried something else...we are currently waiting for their answer. In the meantime...I itch, cuz nothing else works. Published: November 29, 2008 ::

Forgot to take it on trip and ended up at clinic. Two days of treatment and my hives were gone Published: March 27, 2008 ::
