I've been taking Clarinex 5mg Tablets for my seasonal allergies for about a month now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer. Unlike other antihistamines I've tried, this one doesn't make me drowsy at all, which is great because I need to stay alert for work. However, I did experience some side effects like a dry mouth and occasional headaches. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm curious to know if these side effects will subside over time or if they're here to stay. I've also heard about some serious side effects, so I'm definitely being vigilant and keeping an eye out for any warning signs. I'd love to hear from others who have taken Clarinex and their thoughts on it.

How long did it take for the headaches to go away? I've been on Clarinex for a week and I've had a constant headache. It's not terrible, but it's annoying.

I've heard that Clarinex can interact with other medications, so if you're on other meds, be sure to talk to your doctor before taking it. I've been taking Clarinex with my asthma medication and haven't had any issues, but everyone is different. Better safe than sorry!

Be careful, though. I had a friend who had a bad reaction to Clarinex. She had some kind of rash and they had to take her to the hospital. Always good to be cautious.

I have had no side effects from Clarinex and it works wonders for me. No more itchy eyes or sneezing fits! I even take it during the night before work, so I can manage my seasonal allergies without feeling drowsy the next day.

I'm curious about the menstrual pain side effect. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems weird to me that an allergy med would cause that.

I switched from Zyrtec to Clarinex because I was getting too drowsy. The Clarinex works well for my allergies with minimal drowsiness. Not perfect, but definitely better.

I never had issues with Clarinex, but I have had great luck with Allegra. I wished I'd found it years ago.

I've been taking Clarinex for about 2 months now, and the only side effect I've noticed is slightly swollen ankles. My doctor said it was a common side effect for some people. It's not bothering me too much, but I hope it goes away soon. Clarinex is a lifesaver for my allergies, though. I've tried other antihistamines in the past and they either didn't work as well or made me drowsy.
