Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hi. I am new and I have a question. My eight year old son has asthma. His regular doctor put him on accolate about six months ago. His asthma/allergy doctor put him also on Nasonex, QVar and a chewable allergy pill (can't think of the name). He gave samples of everything two weeks ago. Insurance wouldn't pay for the allergy pill so the doctor changed it to Loratadine this week. The next day after starting on Loratadine, my son had an axiety attack. We assumed it was because he was at his old school. Today while trick or treating, he started to have another anxiety attack. He wanted to go home now. So we did. My husband and I are starting to think that this sudden anxiety is a side effect to a medication. My bet is the Loratadine but I am not coming up with much info. Does anyone know if anxiety is a side effect to any of the medication I meantioned? Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Good Morning Holly I am afraid I havent heard of these drugs and in my opinion you must take him off them unless he hasa marked improvement with his asthma. I am and have had the same regular mediscation and never hadthese side effects, May i suggest you write diectly to the manafacturer andask for him side effect slip on this brand of medication. It wouldnt hurt to tell him what has been happening to your son. DianneHolly wrote: Hi. I am new and I have a question. My eight year old son has asthma.
