Pistol Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 @MikeO I use claritin in the morning when allergies show up. I too have worse dysautonomia symptoms with allergies, I think that is because histamine is a vasodilator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DADofPotsSon Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 MikeO, you might ask your doctor for a seasonal prescription trial for Singulair(Montelukast). My Son#2 does this and it works great for him spring & summer. I take it year around because of allergy induced asthma. My allergy is completely under control and so is my Son#2 and neither of us have asthma anymore. If a person has a break thru in allergies they also have Singulair with added Claritin. Son#1 takes only Claritin but he has quite a few times when it is not enough. I have been on it for over ten years and I get a break thru maybe once or twice per year, but it is very mild with just a runny nose, just in the spring. I think one time I had eye itching. Some have reported irritability for a week or two when starting it and my Son#2 has had this twice in the spring when he starts it. He has been on seasonal Singulair for more than 5 years I started having allergy problems at age 5 and asthma at age 7, and I have been dealing with this for 65 years.

MikeO Posted August 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Thanks @DADofPotsSonfor the tip. I see my PCP next month so i will add Singulair to the list of to discuss. I did take a few benadryls just to nuke my symptoms and have been taking Claritin since and has been helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
