Claritin-D
It makes me very hyper, my neck & shoulders stiff, my heart race, and makes it very difficult for me to sleep. I am, however, getting a crapload of stuff done today. Anyone else affected by Claritin-D this way?
Short backstory below for those who are interested...
Ran out of my normal allergy medication (Astelin, a nasty-tasting nasal spray that works really well) this weekend, called pharmacy to refill, and was told that the refill needs Dr. approval. Dr's office is closed until Monday. OK, I'll get by w/ OTC meds for the next day or two. I'm subbing with 12-hour Claritin-D, and am really amped up today (see above symptoms). When Claritin-D first came out and I tried it, I had these same effects, and my then-doctor told me these occur in about 5% of people who take it. I can handle it for today, but was curious if others are similarly affected. Thanks.
