> Benadryl helps most people sleep better. Antihistamines can definitely help with anxiety. I have had 2 doctors prescribe an antihistamine for anxiety. I can't quite remember the name. It began with an X I think?Very interesting. I actually took Unisom, but is the same ingredient as Benadryl. I have both, perhaps will give the benadryl a go.
Just noticed that Seroquel is also a H1-receptor antagonists. Sometimes that med was fun (I'm now reading that it is being abused), but usually too much dysphoria during the day.
Let me know if you can think of the one that your doc recommended for anxiety. Thank you.
Are the antihistamines tolerance building (and dependence)? I hear that they can lose effectiveness over a couple of weeks.
I wonder if the doexipin is good for that. I worry a little about the serotonin in it though.
