Anyone take ClaritinD or a generic for allergies?
Can you take more than one? Does it help?
I took one and my eyes are still itchy and nose is runny. Actually been taking one a day for about 2 weeks now.

I take Clarinex around 1am and Clartin around 12pm.
My doctor told me since I have bad allergies you can take two (2) Claritin a day. But he didn't tell me the side effects

Are you taking 24hr or 12hr Claritin? If you take the 12hr, you can take it twice a day. Taking the 24hr Claritin more than once can cause drowsiness according to the package. I take the 12hr Claritin-D Allergy & Congestion...it's the good stuff...you have to get it from behind the pharmacy counter. It works pretty well for me.

wow. That extra pill really helped. An hour after taking it I felt fine again. I don't feel the least bit drowsy. Probably with my height and size makes it ok.
I might start taking 2 on a regular basis now. Damn histimine.

hmmm I thought I had allergies so I took a Benedryl, it didnt work so a couple hours later I took a Claritin, that didnt work so what did my dumb ass do? I took a Nyquil...It worked, in fact it knocked my ass out and I slept all damn day...Good news, taking Benedryl, Claritin and Nyquil within 6 hours doesnt kill you.

How bad are your allergies? If they are really really bad (like nose is swollen, eyes continually itchy) then Claritin and OTC medications won't really help.

When my nose really gets going, taking a couple hits of Afrin does the trick every time.... only problem is sometimes it's too much. Dries out my nose so much it hurts.
But taking 2 of the lortadine 10mg's seemed to do it.... so I'll see how today goes, if it gets really bad again I'll pop in another and give it an hour.
