A member asked:
I would like to stop taking antihistamines daily, ive been using them for over a yr nightly to sleep, do you recommend weaning and if so how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to wean off: You may stop the antihistamine whenever you wish since withdrawal symptoms are not expected. However if it helps you to fall asleep, I see no harm in taking it nightly either.
