Allegra and allegra d

WHEN I USE ALLEGRA D I USE 1/2 DOSE OF A 12 HR. PILL. I CANNOT HAVE SEX WHEN USING THIS DRUG. I CANNOT HAVE AN ERECTION. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS URINATION. NO PAIN JUST WON'T COME OUT MUCH.....MAKES ME VERY THIRSTY ALSO.....BUT IT SURE DOES THE JOB WITH THE SINUSES.

I have lost a significant amount of weight since I began taking Allegra D two years ago. I struggled with my weight since having two children and have found that since i started taking Allegra D I have increased energy and reduced appetite. I take it first thing in the morning with my coffee to jump start my day. I love this medication that not only helps relieve my allergys but helped me loose weigh and have energy while doing it.

Wow...sorry to hear about all these adverse side effects. To state the other side of the story, I've been taking Allegra D 12 hour formula for about 6 monhts now. I take it once a day...just before bedtime and I've had no problems falling alseep, no restlessness (I do get restless when I use other over the counter anthistamines), no headache, no backache, no dry mouth...in fact, when I stop taking it I notice my allergies and sinusitis get worse.

I started taking Allegra at 8 p.m. on April 8, 2003, for seasonal sinus problems here in Michigan. After taking the second caplet at the same time the following evening (April 9), I awoke the next morning with a lower back ache. On April 10, after my third Allegra, the back pain was so severe I could not stand from a sitting position without assistance. By my fourth Allegra caplet on April 11, I also had a severe headache along with the increasing back pain. I had taken Allegra for approximately one week before I saw a local television ad for the medication stating that "possible" side effects included headache, cold symptoms and/or backache. I thought then that the possibility of the back pain being related to the Allegra was evident. I discontinued taking Allegra on April 15, 2003, and the backache is nearly gone. The slight headache remains, but responds to aspirin. It should be noted that I had a problem several years ago with Allegra-D causing severe head congestion and sinus pain. I would not recommend anyone taking this medication without knowing that the side effects are more than just "possible" .
