Hi Carolynne,
(For anyone who is not a woman in midlife I apologize for the long post...just skip this!!)
The allergist said the hives have nothing to do with the Effexor or the Trazadone! I was relieved. He ruled out any food or environmental allergans, thyroid, liver or other issues. It is apparently fairly common for women in their 50's (like me) to get hives for awhile and they don't know why. The hives will go away, he just doesn't know when! In the meantime he has prescribed a stronger antihistamine to take for two weeks (Reactine 20 mg/1x day). He has also asked me to get tested for the bacteria that can contribute to ulcers because that can sometimes cause hives. (I take Nexium for stomach pain.) Just one more wacky change that happens......
Thanks for listening. Hope you are doing better.Vanni
