Any alternative remedies for urticaria, i've been on antihistamines for years and would like to discontine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just curious: You've been on antihistamines for years and now you want to stop? Are they not working? Have they ever worked? Are you having side-effects from antihistamines? Do you need to take other drugs for other problems & are concerned about drug interactions? Is your insurance no longer covering the cost? Is the cost prohibitive? Are you tired of taking medicines? Let us know. We will try to help you.
