do antihistamines make you gain weight?

Posted by nikkizeta on September 18, 2007, at 7:04:37

I've been seeing posts about people gaining weight on remeron supposedly because of the antihistaminergic effect..does that mean all antihistamines (or perhaps H1 specifically) can cause weight gain and/or increased appetite?

Anyone who's been taking claritin daily long-term notice increased appetite or weight gain?

Thanks!

It is weak at best.

No. Seldane/Allerga/Zyrtec/Claritin do not cause weight gain or increased appetite.
