So far today, I've taken a total of:
* 300mg of ranitidine
* 50mg of loratadine
* 10mg cetirizine hydrochloride
* 25mg of diphenhydramine hydrochloride
* 50mg of doxepin

Today is, by far, the worst day for the hives since they started a month ago.
The hand swelling has partly abated thru the day, to the point where it doesn't hurt to flex my fingers significantly. It's still rather uncomfortable touching anything warm, like my laptop. My legs are itching continuously, my hands itch off and on. The welts on my arms have finally dropped back to just being irritated red patches.

I am not having a particularly good day.

You know what I just realized?
In fairly rapid succession:
1) I'm not completely zonked out. how odd, considering how many different drugs I've taken.
2) oh, they all work differently.. receptor agonists, antagonists, inverse agonists... I bet they're cancelling each other out and that's why I'm not sleepy.
3) oh, shit. That would mean they're probably also cancelling each other out in the ways I WANT them to work!

Wondered, but figured you'd asked a doctor.

Need to learn not to assume, otherwise one gets umes on the ass, or somesuch.

Well, I took two of the claratin-generic this morning.
After a few hours with no effect, I took three more and the doxepin. These two are recommended-together by dr.
The rest I took a few hours after that after continued no-effect, out of desperation.


aaaanyway.

Crap weasels... you took that and are still upritght? AND it didn't work?

Much sorrow. Hope this gets better soon.

I wish I had great medical wisdom to impart, but no.
