I have been taking it for 5 years. I think it took me about two weeks to feel the full effect. As you already know I have been taking it for a while... that’s how much it works for me, I am miserable without it! Other allergy medicines never helped with my stuffy nose, and have also made me tired, but Allegra-D is so great it completely gets rid of my stuffy nose (as well as itchy nose and eyes, watery nose and eyes) and since it is a decongestant, it doesn’t make you sleepy, in fact sometimes I feel a little more awake after it kicks in.

Although I am thinking about going to the doctor pretty soon to try something else because I have noticed lately that it is not working like it use to, it took 5 years to happen to me ... so you have a long way to go! I hope you like it as much as I do!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks. :)

The doctor told me not to take it around bedtime because it will wake me up due to the decongestant. I'm supposed to take it twice daily, and she recommended I take it in the morning and again around 3-4pm.

Thanks for the info. I just started taking Allegra-D 5 days ago. I suffer from Migraines so maybe it's just my oversensativity but has anyone noticed that this med has given them headaches? I've had one everyday straight since I started the meds. You said it took 2 weeks to get the full effect of the drug ~ I don't know if I can hold out that long. Help.

Thanks Versailles! I was hoping it wasn't just Me. Being the weekend I'll have to wait until Monday to call the doctor but I stopped taking the Allegra-D yesterday. I was getting too sick from the Migraines. I'm going to ask her about shots. Thanks again!!
