Cholinergic Urticaria And Hydroxyzine Posted: 05-26-06 16:22pm
Dear all,
i suffer with cu (diagnosed 3 months ago)
and from the investigating that I have
done it seems that people seem to have
relief from a drug called 'hydroxyzine'.
However I hear reports that this drug
makes you feel like a zombie and makes you
tired 24/7.
I'm at the point now, where by I would
rather be tired all day than have to
endure the agony and embarresment of a
breakout of cu.
I have tried everything and I think my
derm is about to put me onto this drug I
wonder if anybody has tried hydroxyzine
and are side-effects truly worse than
actually putting up with cu?
Any feedback would be apprechiated
sean

Hydroxyzine Posted: 06-01-06 16:11pm
I have had cu for 4 years and hydroxyzine
worked initially, but it does make me feel
like a zombie. I would not recommend
this unless absolutely necessary. Every
allergist and derm I have been to will
prescribe this first and insist it is the
best option. I am sure you have read the
other forum on this "i most likely have
cu". There are many other options to try
on this forum. Good luck!

Im taking hydroxyzine 10mg. 3 x a day. Its
not that bad as far as been tired and
sleepy all the time. It does seem to help
some with CU. I still heat up but dont
breakout as bad.
