otc antihistamine addiction

by realqt, Sep 11, 2009 01:57AM
I am on antidepressant paxil for 20 yrs. but i need antihistamine to make me feel normal and motivated. Don't know how and where to start getting off the antihistamine which gives me side effects of dermatitis, ocd, and mouth sores.I can take a box of 48 original actifed in 2 days and now have to have it every day.Where do i start and what can i do right now to feel better and motivated without wanting to sleep half the week away.I see a psychiatrist an take antidepressant, but my big problem is the antihistamine.


This discussion is related to over the counter medication addiction?.
