Question 7

currently taking revia (naltrexone) & experiencing abdominal pain, tiredness, headache. how long does it take for effects to subside after taking it for 5 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Revia (naltrexone) Reaction?: Can't speak specifically for you, but generally speaking if side-effects from any psychotropic medication continue for that long without diminishing in frequency/intensity, it's unlikely that they will go away without the med being discontinued.

Question 8

how can i tell if i have hives or a drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

Subtle: hives can occur as part of an allergy syndrome.  people with chronic hives or who have an inborn low threshold for hives have difficulty differentiating simple hives from drug allergy.  If the drug reaction is IgE-mediated, or occurs via a similar pathway without IgE, then one would expect additional symptoms other than hives (breathing problem, dizzy, nausea, swelling, headache, etc)

Question 9

is there a blood test to determine drug allergies?

Accepted Answer

What is the context: Depends on what you are looking for. No simple test. There are specific tests for certain things (penicillin).  There are a few tests done to determine if an individual can tolerate a certain med (G6PD). Mostly, though, it comes down to trial of a med and knowledge  of what to look for. For example if you get a cough with ACE inhib (lisinopril) your DR will change you to ARB (valsartan)

Question 10

can my unborn child be harmed if i have a drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

No: Having a drug allergy is only a problem if you are exposed to the  drug. If there is a severe drug allergy during pregnancy there is a potential for a problem. Avoid the drug to which you are allergic.
