Call your doc and ask:
can I take Benadryl
What about Ambien - the sleep aid has helped me with both sleep and pain
What about the other muscle relaxers - a different blend?
I do get rashes, take Benadryl, take a month break and then try it again - carefully of course - and sometimes, it is just that my body was either sick fo it, had other allergans going and the med was the topper, or, I mistakenly got some sun with the med which wasn't a good mix.
I don't like Cymbalta - it did nothing good for me, made me gain weight.
I take Zanaflex twice per day, but cannot take any other muscle relaxers as they cause me an allergy flare up.
Allergies are very difficult, but they DO have lots of meds for us. In the past, I've taken low doses of oxy contin, methadone, and in the hospital I had fentanyl which worked very well.
I hope you have a pain mgt. specialist, to handle all of this.
God bless you.
