In reply to does anyone else get hives??, posted by Emmy333 on August 21, 2003, at 12:58:09
Hi,
I don't know much about hives, but I have heard weird stuff like ibuprofen can cause them. Is there a possibility something other than anxiety is causing them? Or maybe something else in your life, coupled with the anxiety, is making them worse?
My ex used to get them occasionally and couldn't link them to anything specific. He started taking an antihistamine at night (just OTC Benadryl), every night, even if he didn't get hives. It acted kind of like a preventive measure and worked for him.
Might be worth a try as long as they don't interact badly with Effexor..
Good luck.
S.
