I was suffering from total body hives for a year, and taking heavy prescription antihistamines which put me to sleep and tired all day. I went to an allergist and he put me on over the counter Zyrtec and Pepcid. (which by the way are both antihistamines.) I buy the generic form of each to save money, and I haven't had a single outbreak in over 60 days.

It is me again. I'm posting an update as it might benefit someone suffering from Urticaria/Chronic Hives. While I am by no means cured, I am able to control my hives with two over-the-counter drugs. I take one 10mg Zyrtec and one 20mg Pepcid AC twice a day and this seems to control the hives. I haven't given up on locating a natural solution to this problem; however, the Zyrtec/Pepcid combination is a lot better than Steroids which made me hyper, angry and led to a 30lb weight gain.
