Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The famotidine has pracically eliminated the hives in conjunction with the Doxepin. I am now down to 20 mg of famotidine a day - I just take it in the evening. The next step will be to start taking it just every other day until I am off it completely. We'll monitor the hives alont the way, of course. |
