Q: Dizzy Over Aerius?

asked by: prairiegirl on July 14th, 2005

I have been taking the allergy medication aerius (5mg) for about 3 or 4 weeks now. It is the only link I can think of to the way i've been recently feeling.
I am not a fainter. I have only fainted a couple times in my whole life, but lately I have been having periods of dizziness/lightheadedness like I could faint for no reason. I'll be sitting at my desk at work and will get woozy enough to take a deep breath and focus on breathing deep til it passes. It happens once or more during the day and maybe 4 or 5 days a week.
Has anyone else reacted this way off of the same medication?
Thanks in advance for any replies =)

What's the generic for aureus b/c it doesn't sound like a us drug but may have the same active

The only other name on my pill bottle is desloratadine. Does that help any?

Reactions to Aerius

I have taken aerius 3 days now. I have also taken aerius about 1 month ago also for a few days. Until today I had no reactions from this drug. Today, though, I fill very "out of order". This is why I searched for a place like this to check if it is normal or abnormal. So my simtomps are: sleepy, dizzy, heaviness of arms and legs.
