Clairitin ?
Did anyone's dc react to Clairitin? Like behavior wise?
I gave dd one does this morning, reditabs, for the first time ever and since she's been acting like a total animal.
I ask b/c a friend said her daughter was nasty on it and now I'm wondering.
Could the first dose just an hour ago really affect her like this?

Please let me know if you see a difference. I have 5 yr old the redi tabs and an hour later she was nuts. I have 2 yr old the liquid at the same time and now she's an emotional mess lol. She's just crying and everything bothers her. We a re a mess here lol.
I don't think I will give it to them again. What a waste of money for me.

I never did (took it by prescription from a VERY young age as a liquid)... doesn't really make much sense, I would get it if it was with the D because decongestants can act as stimulants... but Claritin is relatively benign. That said, everybody reacts to meds differently...

Yes....gave it once a few weeks ago and my 8 year old was acting weird...like she was on acid...although I don't even know how people act on that lol. My friend said it was like that for her kids also. I found Benadryl to be a better option

Thank you. I don't think I'd being doing it again. She was nasty, rude, mean, hyper, crazy, crying, every emotion there could be we had since 8am. It's been nuts.

Re: Clairitin ?
DS is 5 and he has been only the grape chewables since Mother's Day. No reactions at all. He feels a ton better.

So here's my update... DD is who almost 3 did not have any behavioral reaction from a chewable Claritin. It actually did nothing for her runny nose (her only allergy symptom so far). Onto somethin else that will work but not make her sleepy.

Re: Clairitin ?
We use Zyrtec 12 hour and my dd doesn't have any reaction to it (though it doesn't last 12 hours for her). She does have a reaction to benedryl though! She is so strange...so I only give it at night if possible (she needs it in addition to her allergy meds often).

Thanks for the update. I didn't give it to do today and she was her normal almost 5 yr old self. Lol. Obnoxious and hyper :), but not a psychopath lol.
I won't be given it again. Ever lol
I was told to try Allegra.
