post DNP- bad hives

[iceman1280]

Just got done using H's Gen II caps at 200/mgs/day for a week. No problems during the cycle, but now for a week straight afterward, I've gotten serious hives all over. Benadryl helps calm it down a little,but it doesn't get rid of it. I thought DNP was only active in your system for 2 days or so. Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions on getting rid of this?(I don'y think there's any way it could be an allergic reaction to something else)

The same thing happened to me it was so bad both my eyes swole shut , I had to go to the hospital where they gave me an prednisone and benadryl IV and it calmed down some but I had to get a script for prednisone and I also had to take 50mg of Benadryl every 6 hrs along with Zantac (the acid reflux med) because it acts as a histamine blocker as well , I know the itching is awful if it gets any worst just bite the bullet and go to the DR. they will think its an allergic reaction to food , I told them I had shrimp the night before I broke out and they said shrimp is the number 1 cause they see of an allergic reaction

Yes I agree, goto the doctor and get a couple of strong steriod shots to calm the reaction. It will be much quicker and nobody will ask if you tell them its a food reaction.

Also, DNP will still be in your system upto 5 days after last dosage.

how bad exactly? as above, dnp will be around for about a week. using an antihistamine like promethazine is a good idea. go to your pharmacy. also a corticosteroid cream will help calm down the hives, although if they are widespread, dont get a cream, get a script from a doc. they take a couple hours to work

cheers

As I always say, run Benadryl throughout your cycle AND for a week afterward. Oddly enough this is usually when the skin reaction occurs. It happened to me as well, just go to the doc and tell them you have hives and you don't know from what, it won't change the treatment. Within 1-2 days of treatment you'll be fine.
I wouldn't let it stop you from trying again, ever since I had my reaction I run benadryl during and after and I haven't had a problem since.
