Good evening girls (and any resident guys)

I was wondering if any one else has had any issues with taking Anti's?

My story:
I have just developed a form of dermagraphy that is named "Skin-Writting." I wont ask if any one knows that one, coz not many do, so on with the original topic. :)
I have to take Anti's every day. I take them in the morning so i can sleep throu the nite with out scratching my skin off. (literally - i kid u not)
I have tried Zyrtec, Avomine and found them no good for me, didnt work. So now im on Telfast 180mg. Thats the strongest one.
I have to take it each day or ill be skin-less by the evening!

I have found recently that my appatite is depleting and on 2 occasions ONLY i have felt a bit chucky uppy. :barf:

I googled about Anti's and found the regular side effects but nothing about appatite suppresing behaviors. I know some of u are thinking that - well, nausea is the same as appatite supressing, but its not like that. Only 2 times have i felt nauseus. I feel quiet fine any other day and time, not tired or irratable, and my energy levels are always the same, good as gold. I just dont feel hungry nor do i feel i want to make myself eat and if i do eat, its only something quiet small

I guess i could look at the upside, and that the fact that i have beeb wanting to loose weight but havent been able to really get anything started.
But there is a downside to that upside (are u confused yet) Its a unhealthy way to lose weight and i know it will just come back to haunt me! :banghead:

So, omg after blabbing on:ecomcity: , i wondered if any one else had the same as wat im going throu.

Any experiences u can tell me about would be great!!
Thanks girls and love to all!

Sorry to hear what you are going thru, how long will you need to take them before your condition clears up?!

I have really severe dustmite allergies, and had to take Telfast 180mg everyday - but had to wean myself off them to fall pg and breastfeed, haven't started taking them again yet (can't wait until I can mind you!) I've never heard of this side effect - I would go talk to your pharmacist. They know more about the effects of medication than most GPs, and would likely be able to advise you.

Good luck:fingerscrossed:
