benadryl, claritin and valtrex

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had any problems with claritin (i am getting it compounded)? My kids didnt seem to do well on compounded benadryl -- they become more hyper so I am wondering if claritin could do the same thing. My daughter also had a rash appear on her arm the same day she took the benadryl although i am not sure it is from this because it was around the same spot where she bites herself and i am wondering if it could be fungal related (ie she is transferring yeast from her mouth to her arm)....they are both more irritable and hyper at the moment (my son severely and my daughter more mildly). Anyway, i do not want to try claritin if it could throw their immune systems off even more.Also, michael payne had recommended taking benadryl before starting valtrex to help with the

autoimmune/sensitive reaction. Has anyone done this before? I am wondering if claritin would work the same way (trying to find out from his office too).Any thoughts would be much appreciated!Thanks,megan

Have you considered clarinex (prescription?) We've enjoyed all of the gains

(goodbye allergies) with no side effects.

Didn't do well on claritin...

Hmmm...the most obvious is of course no sniffling (which returned by afternoon

the one time we missed a dose). But looking at the final report card now (just

finished 4th grade), we have definitely seen a strong finish and overall better

grades than in any past years. So...perhaps. No effect on behavior in any

direction.

We have good health insurance so there has been no question about coverage,

however I understand this depends on one's plan.
