It started before I started the hydroxy. They say it’s exama. I do have some pimples here and there but it’s at night that I feel
It worse. My pharmacist gave me loratadine but I am
Afraid it will
Interact with my venlaflacine and clonaplazine. I fell
Last November and fractured my L1and L5 vertebrae. The worst pain imdbervwdnt through. Ended up on morphine and went to thevER three times in pain. Went through a break through depression which was the worst. Then they found water around my heart so that had to be drained. I am
Hoping the hydroxy will shrink my spleen and lower my white cells snd the itching will
Go away. Pray for me. Please. .

Oh gosh, Jacklyn. I hope the itching will get better for you. I ran your meds through an online med checker for interactions and didn’t see indications that the loratadine would interfere with your other two meds. But you should call your pharmacy to make sure.
Loratadine is an antihistamine and that may really work well for the itching! It would be worth taking to see if it brings you relief.
I know this all feels insurmountable right now with the back pain and depression. The itching alone can be incredibly intrusive on the quality of life! So I truly hope the antihistamine does the trick! Of course I’ll pray for you and will also add a huge, but gentle hug. Please let me know if the Loratadine helps you, ok?
