Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine rebound

antihistamine

Avatar m tn Vasoconstrictors that are in eye drops like Visine, Cleareyes, etc cause rebound effect. They are not safe for long term use. I've used Euphrasia (eyebright) before and it makes my eyes feel so fresh and also gets rid of redness. I've been doing research on this herb and I've read that it shrinks tissue. I want to get a doctor's thought on the long term use of this herb. This herb helps with my eye allergies and that is why I want to use it.
Avatar n tn How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
666921 tn?1254990618 I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it
Avatar n tn ve got a little opiate withdrawal along with the antihistamine rebound that el_em mentioned. No fun for a few days and you probably won't sleep well for a few nights, but you'll get through it. Most docs don't prescribe tussionex for more than a short-term cough. If your doc has been prescribing it more than 6 or 8 weeks at most, you need to find another doctor who can treat the underlying condition that is causing the cough.
Avatar f tn Hi, How are you? Chronic urticaria, especially the autoimmune type, is often resistant to antihistamine treatment. They usually require immunosuppression and medications such as prednisone and cyclosporine may be given. There has been several studies already which have shown effectiveness in using cyclosporine in the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria, who fail to respond to conventional therapy (ref: http://www.e-ijd.org/article.asp?
Avatar m tn I was only taking 8 to 10 tylenol3 a day,but spaced them out every 4 hours.I quit ct and had withdrawal and rebound pain,but once the rebound pain subsided I am able to control my pain with otc meds.I take 2 extra strength tylenol every 4 hours and ibuprofen in between if needed.In USA there is a pain reliever called percogesic that contains acetaminophen and an antihistamine called phenyltololamine that is quite effective for pain relief.
Avatar f tn not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
Avatar f tn I wear glasses and I take thyroid medication and an antihistamine daily. I have not changed any facial cleansing or makeup products. I asked my endocrinologist and he said to see an eye doctor. I see an Optometrist for my yearly eye exam. Is that who I should see for this or should I see my PCP or a dermatologist since the skin of my lids seems to also be affected?
Avatar f tn My anxiety is triggered by outside events and then it takes a while to rebound. I hate feeling anxious all the time and not having an appetite so I was thinking some natural remedies would be helpful in the short term. Im curious about accupuncture. I helped a friend of mine.
Avatar f tn I know they say that this antihistamine med used as a sleep aid (sold as Unisom) does not have addictive properties, but I am confused. I have been taking this version of Unisom nightly for over 6 years. Some nights, I took 1 and a half or 2. The last year, I have been having increasingly awful Restless Leg Syndrome and researching it one maddening night, I found that nighttime antihistamines can cause or aggravate RLS.
Avatar f tn Hi, The so called Caffeine-Withdrawal headaches may present with throbbing headache caused by rebound dilation of the blood vessels. This may occur days after consumption of large quantities of caffeine. In extreme cases, this is treated by terminating caffeine consumption or avoiding excess use of caffeine. Abortive medicine for migraine may help provide relief. However, it is not advisable to take over-the-counter pain medication with the risk of rebound headaches.
Avatar n tn The cheapest and most effective thing would be to give the cat away, but that is hard to do. I would recommend Zyrtec as a antihistamine (allergy stop tablet), sinus rinse bottler (available in pharmacies). The allergen is actually in the cat's body fluids (saliva and urine). Each animal has a slightly different protein in their fluids which is why some people develop an immunity to their own. Using a clumping litter and cleaning it daily might help some.
Avatar f tn I was recently told that even a single dose of OTC or pain killers can cause a rebound headache. I also have chronic daily headaches as well as a few migraines each week. Can the ER cocktail of Benadryl, Toradol, Zofran, Reglan, ativan ,and decadron potentially cause a rebound effect. There's some weeks, I'm in the ER 2-3 times per week . Some months, I don't go at all. At home, Ido not take anything except amlodapine and valium twice a day.
341042 tn?1244776427 also talked to me about rebound headaches, so I have tapered down my use of triptans and painkiller (I usually take Fiorinal). I was told if you don't use one type more than 3 or 4 times a week, you can usually avoid rebound headaches. I do my best to endure the "not as severe" headaches, and only take medication when necessary. I'm still taking either a triptan or an analgesic 3-4 days a week (one of each).
Avatar m tn I am an 18 year old whose migraines usually rebound with Imitrex therapy. Which of the following is recommended?
2048234 tn?1330814100 Hey scaredmommy - I don't remember how many days you have. I had rebound pain of some sort headaches included well beyond 30 days clean. I had a two week period where I really pondered living the rest of my life in pain and if I could but it did pass. I still have pain but not anywhere along the lines of those two weeks and it is manageable.
Avatar m tn does any have any experince or know how long rebound anxiety las after you quit lexapro? I felt good at first,but then latley have had some major anxiety. thank you.
Avatar n tn However, my eyes are very red from not being able to use vasoconstrictors, and I believe that I am suffering from rebound redness. Is there an average time for rebound redness to abate? Should I expect them to be red for a long time (or forever)? And what do you recommend for dealing with my red eyes right now?
Avatar m tn I have pain on my left abdomen (upper left waist to be exact), the pain is rebound tenderness. It started around December of 2009, so it’s already been with me for almost 5 month. The severity of the pain changes, from a scale of 1-10, is anywhere from 2-7.
1207048 tn?1282174304 When I saw my neuro the other day he mentioned something about rebound symptoms when I'm off the prednisone taper. I did the first round of IV steroids/prednisone for vertigo and it did not come back after (though I will get a bit if I'm overtired, just for a minute or two then it stops). This round of steroids is because of burning/stinging in my feet which moved up my right leg, causing tingling and sometimes electric shock feelings. After the 3 days of IV this was pretty much gone.
1542812 tn?1293382373 It is very possible that they are. While 11 days is wonderful, don't misunderstand, it is not a long time for your body to heal. That takes time. I know it is hard but you have to be patient while your mind and body adjust. Don't know if we talked about it, but are you involved in any sort of support group other than here? It can be helpful to take your mind off of things, for one, and to know you are not alone and to learn coping skills.
1653969 tn?1390331661 Just kind of asking for a refresher on the dynamics of rebound pain-Dominosarah and Gnarly I know you can help on this one. I have been having back pain and issues lately and kind of at a crossroads as to were to go from here.Just not sure if its rebound (how to really tell) or if I am in legitiamate pain.
