Combating Antihistamines

[bautista19 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close bautista19]

I have been on an antihistamine regiment for about 10 months now. I have recurring hives, and the doctors and I have not been able to determine the cause of it. Because of it I have been on ranitidine and loratadine. You have to excuse my spelling. In that time I have noticed a real loss in explosiveness during ejaculation, and after every time I have sex my wife wonders if it felt okay. It feels good, but not the paralyzing orgasms I used to have.

I kegel frequently, but is there anything else I can be doing to get that explosion back?

What about stopping the drugs?

Have you thought about seeing new doctors? I usually don't stick with doctors that have no idea what the hell is wrong with me.

When I go off the allergy medication I break out in hives and get pretty bad hand and foot pain. It's completely bizarre. Every couple weeks I think I'm fine and I'll stop the medication and in a couple of days my torso is covered in hives and my hands and the balls of my feet kill.

I've been to the allergist and I've had skin testing. They insist it's related to stress I had some while back, and my system continues to keep cycling it. It sounds absurd to me too.

I should be more curious if anyone has dealt with this physical issue, than to how to get the good feelings back.

Prolonged antihimimine use is bad for your prostate. Antihists decrease all body fluids production, including spermatic fluid. A supplement named lecithin will increase your ejaculatory fluids significantly, but check with your doctor before mixing that with antihists. Might be counterproductive for your treatment. I'd do everything possible to get off the antihists though, definitely NOT GOOD for the prostate! Find another alternative treatment or an alternative doctor, IMO.

there arent that many medications for allergy. loratadine is a second generation antihistamine and is less sedating. montelukast may be an option for you so ask your doctor about that. steroids work great but are horrible drugs for maintenance. for people who are very atopic, avoidance is the best and safest but is not always possible. like sometimes avoidance of dust, pollens is impossible. if it were just rhinitis then a nasal spray would work great but it sounds as though you have something more systemic, hence the hives, so oral meds would be the way to go.

Duh! Exactly. If you get off the medication you will get bad again in a couple of days. Why? Because you're not fixing anything. And you're not fixing anything because you're seeing the wrong specialist. Those drugs the only thing they're doing is mask the symptoms. They will never cure you, and will only create catastrophic side effects in your health. In other words, you're slowly poisoning yourself.

You have to fix the root of the problem. The root cause of those reactions is your immune system. That's where the issue begin. And that issue can be caused by either a weak low immune system, or an autoimmune disease. To determine that you MUST visit the right specialist. He will diagnose the cause of the problem and work on curing it. And of course the cure does not include drugs. It is mostly nutrient related.

The right specialist IS NOT an MD. MD only use allopathic reduction (drugs/surgery). MD are only good if you break a bone, if you cut a finger, but NOT to treat chronic diseases. A drug can't rebuild tissue. Your body can. A drug can't repair a liver. Your body can. A drug can't protect the heart. Your body can. The right specialist is a Naturopathic doctor or a functional medicine doctor specialized in homeopathic medicine.

@OP - try something called "Life Extension: Butterbur w/Rosemarinic Acid" - it's very easy to find and can help allergies through multiple pathways...it only slightly reduces histamine but most of all it STABILIZES the mast cell receptors which is better than blocking the receptor directly.
Antihistamines are very hardcore, and if you do take an antihistamine you are risking cognitive issues as well as other CNS side-effects...technically you can block some of these sides by adding a H3R antagonist like Pitolisant or Hollarhena extract which would then increase histamine but this is sort of 'beating around the bush' and you'd be spending more money doing it this way than just using something a little more subtle.

Ive been on allergy shots for over a year and still get then once a week "Dr says I'm on the strongest mix" I also take loratadine and montelukast everyday. Don't really have alot of faith in my allergist any ideas about maybe dropping my pills to see if my shots are working? Jockinthebox said they can decrease body fluids.... Never had small loads but possibly have more if I stop my antihistamines? Any insight is appreciated, thanks.

I actually do take 10mg loratadine (Claritin) daily about 7-8 months out of a year for seasonal allergies. I also take lecithin as a supplement to help combat the prostate drying effects of antihistimines. Drink PLENTY (1+ gallon) of water daily, and add lecithin and you should see some improvement in your loads. It helped mine.

Thanks for the advice, don't think I could drink a whole gallon a day though.

Start a journal of every activity that involves consumption or tactile connection (touch). Then begin a process of elimination. It can be anything, something you eat, the detergent you wash you clothes in, the material of your clothes etc. Its tedious but a journal will help you record and eliminate possible irritants.

Lowering histamine usually makes you more thirsty.
Histamine plays a role in how one's body balances it's electrolytes; plus it plays a role in thyroid health and cytosolic/mitochondrial energy production .
In my experience though, load size isn't really affected by antihistamines...it does effect orgasm quality though to an extent..depending on what you are doing the next day and whether you drink coffee or w/e .

Interesting, thanks.
