Be sure your allergy shots have ZERO mercury in them. The last thing a psych patient or an immunology patient needs is more mercury. It is actually a major cause of both psych and allergy symptoms. Many allergies shots have small amounts of mercury in them. Vaccines had mercury as a preservative. Some still do. Many flu shots today have mercury.
Ask about every single ingredient in the shot and then study to be sure one of them isn't a disguised version of mercury. They call it something else when it is used in medicine.
I know people snicker at me when I mention mercury, but it IS serious. Tiny amounts can be deceptively devastating to some people, especially if there is a known allergy conditon already in play.
Anyway, sorry to get off topic. I don't know about Ensam and allergy shots. I do know from visiting other forums that it is common for allergy shots to have mercury in them. You want to specifiy NO MERCURY. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.
