Why do antihistamines make you hungry?

Why do antihistamines make you hungry?

  • I've been taking a lot of Benedryl the last few weeks. I picked up a cold when leaving Jackson, WY a week and a half ago. And the climate changes across the US, from Wyoming all the way to my home in Georgia (vast difference in plant types and humidity) just aggravated my allergies even more. But I've been ridiculously hungry since then. I'm taking 2 capsules of Benedryl about 3x/day. I know it's what's making me hungry, but why? I have to control these allergies but I can't keep eating and gaining weight like this! Help!

  • Answer:

    I don't know.. but if you find out... let me know... because I've been trying to find this out for FOREVER! By the way.. totally unrelated.. but I LOVE Jackson!! What are you guys doing all the way out here from GA? I'm from KY but live in UT now, and I go up to Jackson probably five times a year, usually w/ my hubby for his job! (sorry.. i know that is unrelated to your question)
