Overdose on fexofenadine & loratadine?

stellaxriot asked:


I have severe allergies and I have been taking the generic for allegra (fexofenadine 180 mg). It works for about an hour and then stops working. I have been taking 2 pills a day, when your supposed to take one.

Last night around 10 pm I took one, and then again this morning at 9 am. At 10 pm today I took a store brand for Claritin D (loratadine 10mg + PSEUDOEPHEDRINE 280 mg).

would that be enough to overdose?
I have an appointment at an allergy specialist the 31st. I know I shouldnt be messing around with this stuff, but I really cant function well without taking that much.

My doctor is as idiot and just keeps changing my perscription when I complain. Definitely changing docs ASAP and going to the specialist.

I read on wikipedia that rats tested with fexofenadine up to 800mg had no reaction, but im not a rat :)
Perhaps theres someone out there with experience pertaining to my question & bad seasonal allergies.

Thank you all in advance for your input!

Advice on Fexofenadine medicine?

Scotch Whiskey asked:


I have hayfever (or allergic rhinitis as my doctor calls it) and she gave my a tablet called Fexofenadine (The brand name is Telfast). I wanted to know if Fexofenadine had any downsides, like affecting behaviour or the brain.

Please don’t ask what Fexofenadine is. Google it.
ALSO, I checked on wikipedia, but I wanted a second opinion, I should’ve asked my doctor, but you are not allowed to call and ask questions.

Why is Cyclobenzaprine classed as a tricyclic antidepressant if it isn’t (ever?) prescribed for depression?

Imipramine

Kynysca asked:


From what I understand, it is typically indicated for pain, occassionally as a sleep aid. Also, that it isn’t even used for more than a couple weeks at a time. It is structurally similar to amitriptyline and imipramine, but never (from what I can see) prescribed for mood disorders. Why not? Perhaps I am missing something?
Thanx, Troy. Makes sense. I haven’t read anything reliable.

Wikipedia, at least, lists it as a tricyclic antidepressant:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclobenzaprine

This research seems to list it as a TCA:

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1540431

I can’t find anything “official”….
Troy, I have read “effects” of Cyclobenzaprine are comparable to a benzo. Could this drug be used as an anxiolytic? Is it, ever prescribed for this purpose?
Thanx, again, Troy. To be honest, I read the first paragraph of that research.

And, yeah, wiki is “off” a lot of the time.

I appreciate the edit, man :-).
I guess what I kinda got hooked up on is how cyclobenzaprine could be so structually similar to other TCA’s (even, despite it’s disparate class), yet not work similarly…
