Dave and antihistamines

[Guest guest]

Dave-I usually just don't take them at all. They all make me horribly

sleepy. I seem to be very sensitive to medications as well.

But, a couple weeks ago, I seemed to be itching all over...my scalp, my

hands, legs, etc. It seemed very odd to me. It occurred to me it might be

some sort of reaction, though to what I don't know. I did take one

Benadryl, and it seemed to take the edge off. I didn't take any more of

the med. though, since I am so sensitive to that. After several days, it

seems to have just faded away, so...

I would guess, if you're not too sensitive, maybe just start with a basic

Benadryl, and work from there. You'll know what you can or can't handle.

I take the non-drowsy antihistimines (Target brand) and it helps reduce

redness and swelling. I take them at night. I believe there are other

members of this board that also take antihistimines and it also helps them.

But again, we are all different, so some react differently.
