It would surprise me that you lose weight because it can surpress your eating.
When I had a severe severe allergy problem, I was on Sudafed (you had to sign
at the counter) and I"m telling you I could have gone like 10 hours without eating.
I had NOOOOOOO appetite. But after a few days of being on it, I felt like it was
becoming a crutch for not eating and I thought I would get addicted to that...
so, I got off it and haven't taken since. I know the drug worked for my
allergies, but I was afraid to have IT CONTROL ME... I need to control me
P.S. When I did eat, it was small portions because my taste buds were all out
of whack -- AND AND to top it all off, my taste buds were off for about 6 months
later. But, I couldnt taste anything sweet -- no chocolate, no candy -- and I
couldnt taste 'sweet fruits" believe me, its not as groovy (we need to get that
word back in our language again --its fun!) as it sounds. Taste buds are
back but some times they are quirky0 -

as a pharmacist, i am rolling my eyes at this post.. :indifferent:
I'm not a pharmacist (although I am a big fan; one of my first "big books" as a child was a PDR my dad brought home from work), and I'm rolling my eyes. Hard. :ohwell:0 -
Excuse if I get bent out of shape but people ask questions because of curiosity
sometimes -- not that they are actually planning to do something sinister or try
to beat the system in anyway...
Please dont get nasty by rolling eyes at someone's post. This is why some
people get off of MFP -- because of comments like this.
Like mama says :
"If you don't have anything nice to say.... then shut the FLIP UP"
....or something like that2 -
I took a Claritin D yesterday and it helped with sneezing, running nose and sinus pressure. I also noticed throughout the entire day I wasn't thinking about food. I imagine it was the Claritin D that made me not feel hungry.0

my husband takes claritin and has been taking it for years. he has just lost some weight because he was overweight. if claritin helped with weight loss, he would have been thin LONG ago.0

THIS IS HILARIOUS! THAT WOULD BE MY MOTHER!1 -
It's true it suppresses your appetite because it's a stimulant. I asked my pharmacy why I had no appetite and couldn't sleep while on Claritin D. I was told yes it is a side effect.0

Nice necro bump.1

So, I just found this forum because I just started Loratadine and just don't have an appetite at all. I've hardly eaten for four days and did a google search of why I lost my appetite and if the meds could be the reason. So I suppose it's valid, though probably just a side effect. I expect it to wear off eventually. I haven't come across much that takes away my appetite for long...0

I must be boring. I only take Claritan for my seasonal allergies. I've really got to work on my street cred. 😞0
