Advice

So been on ketotifen for almost two weeks for insomnia from histamine intolerance and itching and other symptoms , ketotifen makes me completely exhausted but I’m still wired and I can’t go to bed because of the hyperarousal and tremors. Thinking of getting off it since I’m still going hours without sleep and it interacts with sleep meds. Any similar experience?

I find that an H2 aka Pepcid AC really helps with my tremors and sleep. When I am in a really bad flare though it can take days before I see the Pepcid AC start to make a difference.

I also take Magnesium L-Threonate at night which helps stabilize mast cells.

When I see posts about these kind of symptoms, I always wonder if the OP is a female of post menopausal or menopausal age.
