Someone on the WITHDRAWAL board reported that using Claritin D worked to ameliorate withdrawal symptoms. Others have used Benadryl. The advantage to using Claritin is that it doesn't produce the sedation that sometimes accompanies Benadryl. However, Benadryl has been recommended by many for quite a while. If you do decide to go with Claritin D, be aware that the "D" stands for decongestant, for which pseudoephedrine is the active ingredient. Hopefully, regular Claritin would work just as well.
Please submit a report on the Withdrawal board if you discover anything that you find helpful.
Thanks.
Good luck!
