xyzal
Hello there,
Welcome to the allergy forum. I see you joined Med help this month.
You say you have taken the xyzal tablets for 5 years. That's a long time
to be taking a medication. Here is what I would suggest. I would make
an appointment with the doctor who prescribed the xyzal tablets for you.
I would tell your doctor what you just shared in your post. That if you do not take the tablet for more than a day, you experience itchiness all over your body especially on your arms and legs.
But the past few days, some hives have started to come back. I have been taking benadryl along with the xyzal as needed. I was wondering if I could take 2 xyzal a day instead o 1. The only other medication that I am on is ortho cyclin birth control. Would I be okay if I took a 5 mg of xyzal early in the morning and then another in the late afternoon? Thanks in advance!
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
yes yes, I am clean from Vicoden, Antidepresants but still am using a sleep aid, have been using over the counter meds for sleep since the 80's then went to prescription sleep aid and now I only sleep 3 or 4 hours using them. I am going to go off them soon. My Dr would like to see me wait until Jan just because I came off two meds this year and had surgery's but please don't go to prescription sleep aids I think it is harder to get off them than OCT.
My allergy test is this Thursday and if I have any hives during the appointment, I will make sure to show them to the allergist. I am not taking the Xyzal right now since I cannot take antihistamines for 7 days before the allergy test. Thank you so much for the response and I'll update as soon as the tests are done.
I personally do not have gout but I take it for my arthritis. It works wonders. Here is a link to the brand I use. I usually get it at the health food store but will be buying off the internet this month because it is about half the price. http://www.nowfoods.com/Products/M013112.htm Hope this is helpful, best of luck to you.
Is it possible to become addicted to over the counter medications? My 75 year old mother recently moved to my town so that I could help her financially, etc. I have become very concerned about the amount of excederine, prilosec, nasal spray, aleve, and other antacid medicines that she takes. She has a history of bleeding ulcers, she smokes about 2 packs of cigarettes a week, high blood pressure, and other ailments of old age. I didn't realize that she was taking so much of this medicine.
