What Causes Itching On Hands And Feet After Stopping Allerga?

I have taken allerga for a few years now, every day, all year round. Whenever I stop taking it now, within 24 hours or sometimes even less, I start itching. It starts on my hands and feet and then eventually the legs, stomach, and back. Is this withdrawl from not taking the allerga?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The allegra would be suppressing your allergic response to one or more allergens.

You may want to consider allergy testing so that you can determine what is provoking your allergic reaction.

This can be in the form of skin tests or blood tests.

I hope this helps
