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.
I have decided to stop taking the aspirin, which I haven’t taken in about a week anyways. This “rebound effect” that can result in clotting due to suddenly stopping aspirin has got me a little worried. Is this a legitimate concern or am I worrying for no reason? I understand the negative effects of stopping aspirin are mostly in the 4 weeks or so after stopping due to platelets becoming “more sticky”. How long after stopping aspirin does the blood “normalize”?
However, some doctors and researchers find that immunosuppresants are not a good long-term treatment because of possible rebound effect when the steroids are discontinued. It is best that you check with your doctor for proper management. There is also a previous post here in the forum that may be helpful: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Allergy/Chronic-hives/show/4046
Take care and best regards.
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.
My very excellent neurologist told me that Frova and Amerge are the ONLY triptans that do not cause the rebound effect as they have more of a half-life. The other triptans can then be used once a week. NO over the counter pain meds like Advil- those cause rebounds too. My neuro gave me Ultram, which is a better choice for chronic and frequent headaches.
Ask your ophthalmologist if you have GPC (giant papillary conjunctivities) which is an allergy to contact lens wear that causes bumps under the eyelid. If so ask him/her about opticrom for treatment of GPC. Google and read about. More likely you have dry eyes. Probably why your contacts started bothering you and lasik can make dry eyes worse. Go to my website and scroll through the blog posts and read the updated article on dry eyes.
How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
My questions are, How serious is this side effect, Should I continue using the Spiriva, Continue the Spiriva but stop the Symbicort, or Drop both and just take Combivent which I currently use as my emergency inhaler? Are there other alternative that I and my doc should consider.
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.
Exactly. You may very well be experiencing the "rebound" effect. A good ophthalmologist will be able to help you get through this.
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.
Most take effect within an hour of taking. You might need more than one antihistamine in order to control your symptoms in addition to a steroid nasal spray. I would consult with your allergist.
Do not mix antihistamines though such as an oral antihistamine and spray. Ocean Spray does not have an antihistamine and will simply dry you out and is safe to use with an antihistamine.
My surgery has now substituted 2x 20 mg capsules, they do not appear to work and are a nightmare against taking 40 mg dose. I have a faulty valve aand have relied on this drug for the past 10 years without any side effect.
I sometimes have so much drainage that I have to take oral antihistamine, too. I hate it, because the oral antihistamine is so sedating.
Also, nasal saline sprays have a very small effect. Try the NeilMed sinus rinse bottle instead. The greater volume of water makes it much more effective.
Exactly what nasal sprays have you tried? Please list by category - steroid or antihistamine. Have you tried atrovent (dries up the sinuses so it may not be the best thing for thick drainage) and NasalCrom?
Have you tried guaifenesen (Mucinex) and a decongestant? Have you tried doing three day cycles of Afrin?
Hello purplegreen1234,
I have a stuffy nose sometimes too at night. I use a product called Congestion Relief by a company called " hydraSense. This product is
very helpful in relieving my congestion. The great thing about this product is that it is safe for long-term use with no rebound effect. It also has no chemical additives. It's actually 100% natural source seawater. It's much
better than Dristan , for example, which I've heard can be somewhat addictive.
I am addicted to Hydrocodone and have been "off and on" for about 3 years. Sometimes I go through periods of not taking them, or taking very little. But in the last few months I've been going on binges. I'd take 3-4 5/500s a day at the most. I am now at the end of one of those binges. I managed to get off them a few months ago and was miserable physically for a good three weeks. Now I want to taper off and STOP.
