I’d heard about Benadryl before, but I wasn't actually sure if it was the exact same thing as Dimetindene. Thanks for clearing that up.

As for the peanuts—that's just one of several things I'm allergic to, unfortunately. I don't eat them myself, and I'm pretty meticulous about reading labels on everything I touch. But, you know how it goes—sometimes someone who's been snacking on peanuts won't wash their hands properly, and if they come near me, I'll have a reaction.
It's been like this since I was born, and now that I'm 23, I've basically mapped out all my triggers. Still, things can flare up unexpectedly, so I feel like I need to have something on hand that can shut the whole situation down immediately.

I've been dealing with these damn allergies for a long time now—mostly peanut allergies, which is a total nightmare. For the longest time, Dimetindene was pretty much my only lifeline; it was the one thing that actually worked to shut down the swelling and all that other mess immediately after a reaction. But now, apparently, they aren't making it anymore. Does anyone happen to know if there's a decent substitute out there in pill form? Basically, I’m just looking for something that hits the same way Dimetindene does.

Thanks in advance!!!!!
