Can anti-histamines make you feel depressed?!
Question:
Can anti-histamines make you feel depressed?
Hi I have been taking loratadine for my hayfever and am feeling very low at present. Anyone else experience this?
Answers:
YES!!
They are essentially depressants, usually...
I mean, why do they make you sleepy, drowsy, etc?
Because they are slowing down or inhibitting your body's response to something. Blocking a histamine reaction, etc.
I'd imagine that depression could be a potential side-effect.
And, the web-link I've provided DOES list depression as a side-effect.
Ask your doc, though... Maybe there's a better formula for you.
Peace!
