Stronger prescription antihistamines?

Question

I take allegra d, which works some of the time, but since I am so allergic to dust, sometimes my allergies are so out of control I cant stop sneezing.

Does anyone know of any stronger antihistamines?
I have tried zyrtec and claritan, and they both dont work at all for me.

Answer 1

Allegra and Zyrtec are the most commonly used prescription antihistamines. There are two older ones, Atarax and Vistaril, that are also prescription antihistamines, but they're not prescribed much anymore because they will knock you out.

If you've tried all these antihistamines and had no relief, it's time to see the allergist. There are other treatments for allergies besides antihistamines.

Answer 2

Am exactly like you. My allergies to dust and dust mite are way too much for any antihistamines to handle. Now am pursuing other treatments that can lower my allergies, which include immunotherpy and herbal medicine. It is a slow process but hopefully one day i won't have so much allergies. My best advice for you is try to lower your allergies instead of just trying to cure the symptoms which is what the antihistamines do. Since you are mostly allergic to dust it would be good to try herbal medicine and immunotherpy would not be so bad either.

Answer 3

The only thing that I know of is what you are already doing. When you can't breastfeed (I couldn't with my last due to his prematurity) you just pump as often as you can. I was told to take Wheat Germ, Brewer's Yeast, Black-Strap Molasses, etc... to help with my supply. However, I was so sick myself (severely anemic) and was under tremendous stress (my baby was in the NICU) that eventually my milk dried up. I don't think you have to worry about that. I say just keep doing what you're doing and hopefully you will be better soon and able to breastfeed.
