Just started Ketotifen last weekend.....oh my...so exhausted. Anyone else? Will it pass?

Star:
I've been on ketitofen thanks to Missy's great pharmacist for going on 3 months. First yes it sems to make me more drowsy, especially if I've worked too hard or under the weather some. But I'm getting used to it.& I think it's worth doing. My skin pain seems already some better. I'm taking 3 a day. 1@ Noon, 1@5PM, @ 1 @ night. My drowsy periods are 1st in morning, of course I'm taking it at night with zrytec. some liquid benedryl, & a tramadol as that's when my pain is worst. So with that combo I should be drowsy anyway. Then around 4pm. Also cost is worth it plus don't have to worry about some insurance company rejecting gastrocrom anymore. I was on gastrocrom for about 2-3 years but always wanted to get on ketitofen as it should be better for me than gastrocrom, since I'm a leaker with little gastro issues.
Good luck

I was given a prescription for ketoifen I am so nervous too start it it has sat in my medicine box for about a month, I am not sure if I want too start it I already have problems with losing weight I don't know what happened but since I started antihistamines the weight has just come on and I am now on a vegan diet for one month eating very healthy , I now seem too be able too tolerate most foods YEAH, but I am still having issues which I am not sure now if its the pots/dysautonomia or the mast cell issues I def do not flush as much, I do have quite a bit GI involement with diarrhea and then constipation but my biggest issue is the abd distention I notice its def not my diet as I can take one bite of something like toast and boom my abd is like I have tripletss and other times I can eat a full mean and be fine. I am thinking I should start this med strictly b/c of my inability too sleep it might make me drowsy and by the way I paid 80 dollars for a month of it here in the US and 8 dollars for a bottle of the liquid ketofien on my recent trip out of the country i will go back just too get this medication if it works for me, what I was given was capsules but I have the liquid type from out of the country I brought the liquid too the pharmacist here and they said its basically what they used as they had too get it from out of the USA and its unknown what fillers and stuff they put into it, anyway sorry I am long winded today, but please if anyone can tell me some of the positive things that have gone better for them on this drug I would feel better starting it

I also read that ketotifen can help people gain weight.  Does anybody know which it does?
