Hello. I just got my first injections of Xolair last Thursday. I got the max,

375 mg (came in three shots). At first, I felt okay. I got a little shaky a

bit later. About nine hours later, I had terrible heartburn and my throat felt

funny, as did my tongue--they mainly felt burned. As the days went by, I began

to get anxiety more and more, until finally, Easter night, my bp was high, as

was my heart rate. I was taken to the hospital. I had not slept much in three

nights, either. By the next morning, in the hospital ER, I was so anxious, I

was pacing. My entire insides felt as though I had an earthquake going in,

especially in my legs, stomach and chest. I was given Benadryl, nothing.

Atarax twice, nothing. Finally, Valium made me sleep for 12 hours. I'm now on

Klonopin, which is causing anxiety and itching. I was taken off of my Allegra,

which I usually tolerate well, because I now don't tolerate it (causes anxiety).

My doctor told me it was a reaction to too much Xolair, that my body is so

sensitive right now that I can't handle too high of a dose. I am to work with

the anti-anxiety meds to keep me as calm as possible until the Xolair is out of

my system, then we're to try again at a much smaller dose.

Anyone else do this or heard of it? If so, how did the smaller dose go for you

or for whomever you heard of?

Thank you.
