Claritin side effects?

Claritin side effects?

Doctor put me on once a day Claritin and a steroid nasal spray.  The first week seemd to go find but I have noticed over the past 4 days that I have developed red/itchy eyes, body aches, dizzy, headache and cant sleep.  I called the doctor's office and spoke with the nurse who quickly told me that those were not side effects to Claritin or Flonase.  Anyone else experience a reaction to this?  I've read on several different websites that those are typical side effects.  IM CONFUSED!

Sorry, but I have used Claritin and Nasonex for quite a while and never had those side effects.  Honestly, those sound like the allergy symptoms you are trying to treat.  Many patients and doctors do not consider claritin a good antihistamine.  You might want to try Zyrtec to see if that helps any.

Feel better.
