Bran-kun, could please tell me more about Iterax? Nagsugod ko ug tumar (pero not all the time) kadtong pagsugod nako ug allergy sa chicken.. 10mg lang nuon, nawala baya ang itchiness ato, tapos I feel sleepy and relax pod kada mo-take ko ato..
Hi Jenneth,
Did your MEDICAL DOCTOR prescribe that to you or did you buy that yourself? ITERAX is also known here in the United States via ATARAX, the drug name is Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride. This drug is used primarily here in the United States as an indication for GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) , psychosis, atypical depression and severe forms of obsessive compuslive disorder. Basically, its a neuroleptic. It has a mechanism of action that can effectively lower NOREPINEPHRINE, increase GABA (this is an inhibitory neurotransmitter), and can increase SEROTONIN (neurotransmitter associated with feelings of satisfaction, happiness, feel-good effect).
Sometimes, ATARAX can be used for allergic reactions, however, the mechanism of action is still being researched, and quite frankly, i don't think you should be taking this drug , Jenneth, unless you are diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, have depression, have psychosis, or have ocd. this drug, jenneth is a neuroleptic.
In addition, due to the pluripotency of this drugs (meaning has the ability to affect many receptors in the body), it has also a wide side effect lists including vision problems, seizures, cardiotoxicity, respiratory depression, and addictive qualities.
In fact, we don't even give ATARAX is not even the drug of choice for anxiety disorders, for those we give them: benzodiazepines (clonazapam etc), buspirone or SSRI (serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors such as citalopram). We do this because these drugs a less severe side effect.
Again, to reiterate to you that ATARAX is primarily an neuroleptic drug that is given to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, psychosis, and obsessive compulsive disorders.
There are better forms of anti-allergy medication to treat your allergic reaction to chicken. In fact, you don't even need to recourse for prescription medicine like ATARAX for that. If you are allergic to something, particularly a food source, the best way to treat this is behavioral modification. Stop eating the chicken. Your body has developed antibodies to it and thus it attacks it everytime you eat it. that is why you hare having systemic symptoms. If , however, you do eat chicken accidentally and you get an allergic reaction, consider benedryll.
You are tired and sleepy because ATARAX is an anxiolytic and neuroleptic drug. If you are not diagnosed with GAD , Atypical Depression, Psychosis, Mania, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, then I highly recommend you stop taking this drug at once.
If you have symptoms of cardiotoxicity, seizures, visual problems, please stop taking this drug and consult your attending M.D.
Sincerely,
Bran
