Antihistamimes

[Bejwo50]

Can anyone advise which antihistamine does not trigger rls symptoms

[SueJohnson]

Any non-sedating ones like claritin, zertec, xyzal. You want to avoid benadryl.

I use cetrizine without any problems.

This is what my mum is taking regularly 1 a day but it does make her rls worse. We may have to try another. She has dust allergies thats why doc prescribed it.

I doubt it is the cetrizine.

Check for other triggers?

I take cetirizine (Zyrtec) for brachioradial pruritus, and I take quite a bit of it. It doesn't bother my RLS at all.

Diamine oxidase as treatment for histamine sensitivity

Daosin from Swanson is a histamine blocker

Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium infantis are two histamine degraders. It’s quite difficult though to get Bifidobacterium infantis separately as an individual strain, without other strains that are also in it. But it is possible to get Lactobacillus plantarum that way, just as a single strain, pretty easily. So that can be a good one to take. Then soil-based organisms like Prescript-Assist is very good because soil-based organisms tend to be neutral or even histamine-degrading. They tend to be tolerated pretty well by people with histamine issues.
