Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hi all! Saw my allergist today. Still wants me to continue on Claritin 40mg, doxepin and zantac, but to space the Claritin out differently. Will give that a try. Today, he had a medical student or was she an intern? ( I always get that confused) Anyway, he had her visit with me first. She was amazed by my condition. She started asking the usual questions about heat, exercise, etc. Then she finally looked at me and said, " I guess you have already been down that road and answered these questions. " You bet I have. I think what amazed her the most is the length of time I have lived with this and the fact that I appear " normal " and have had a relatively " normal " life. My main concern out of all this is what the medication is doing to my body and my life expectancy. I guess we all must feel that way, but it really, really concerns me. What is all this Doxepin doing to my liver? What about Claritin and Zantac? Doc thinks what I am taking is " relatively " benign, but still... Thanks for reading and listening and for being there.
