Hives
Day 10 and I have been breaking out in hives for several days now. I researched it and think it's pretty common. Over the counter meds like Claritin and Allegra and Zyrtec will help - also Benadryl at night. Just wanted to referenced the hives to help if someone else is questioning them. Benadryl also makes a cream in addition to the oral med.

As always I'd like to remind folks that what works for someone may not work, or even be suitable for someone else, especially if you're on other meds or have specific health problems.
If unsure, see your Dr or pharmacist
I've seen lots of threads about Benadryl addiction too. Diphenhydramine (used in the US version) can be addictive apparently is perhaps something to be avoided for regular use?

"I've seen lots of threads about Benadryl addiction too."
I was amazed to find a thread on another forum with close to (as I recall) a thousand posts with people telling their tales of absolute destruction of their lives due to abusing Benadryl.
Of course they were taking HUGE amounts, but they were doing so, after the initial get-high attempt, because they were addicted.
