> I was wondering if its ok to take antihistimines with prozac ? I have some eczema but it seems to be getting worse and i seem to be getting a few hives as well. I know that if you get a rash you are supposed to stop taking it......but i can't bear the thought of being depressed again, i am just starting to feel a little bit better ! Anyway your opinion would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks.Hi Jane,
You need to determine what is causing your rash before you think about stopping your Prozac. I had hives back when I was taking Prozac a few years ago (I had been taking it for about 7 years), and I was convinced the meds were causing my rash and I started switching to meds that didn't work as well. A trip to an immunologist (finally!)found that the rashes were being caused by molds/dustmites not meds. See your PCP and get their opinion and maybe allergy testing before you stop meds.
