I've been severely allergic to all meds I've tried for the past 4 years...including seroquel..

I've tried other "coping strategies"... They have helped to some extent? I'm still here..

I'm also allergic to all prescribed moisturisers for the severe rash on my face

(Also allergic to a long list of other things, including pets and my computer )

I find this scary

Am I just "wrong"

When you say allergic, what kinds of reactions are you having?

[Fuzzybear]

I've been having a severe red rash round my eyes, and swelling around the eyes, the rash then spreads over the rest of my face ..

[Kuras]

You develop rashes from all medications you've taken, not just the moisturizers?

[Fuzzybear]

All the meds, all the antidepressants too..

Wow im sorry I would be royally screwed if I was allergic to psych meds. I'm sure a lot of us would be in trouble here lol. I would want to get down to the bottom of why you're so severely allergic to ALL meds. That's serious if something happened medically and you couldn't take a med to save your life. I would suggest seeing an allergist.

Well I guess they would prescribe oral steroids which may suppress the rash..

Oral steroids freak me out and scare me..

I wonder what an allergist or dermatologist over here in the uk would do or would want to do..

I am seriously screwed. I somehow hoped my body would get back in balance...

But it's screaming at me "I don't want to be here"

I don't particularly want to be here either, this is ridiculous and has gone on for far too long

Different medications use different mechanisms to operate in the body. Allergic to all psych meds? I am sorry but I am very skeptical of this statement. Perhaps you have limited experience with such meds? Personally I have never heard such a thing. All I am saying is that there is something a bit amiss here. I think you need to go to an allergist and get to the bottom of it. You need answers you can trust. You should do this for your own health.

I'm sorry you're having this reaction to the meds. I hope you can get an allergy test or something to figure this out.

Please don't go, though. I would miss you terribly.

There certainly is something amiss... A GP years ago told me I was the most allergic "patient" he had ever had..

It's true I haven't taken every single med available but I've reacted to all of the many meds I've tried

Now my allergies are far worse
And I'm sick of the scary reactions..my body is amiss it's true
Why would I trust an allergist? I don't trust doctors

Thanks yeah it looks like I might have to go for that NHS referral

I so much don't want more tests, I've had allergy tests before...

Oh well..

I am also allergic to many meds. I think I am allergic to the fillers/excipients more often than I am allergic to the med molecules themselves.

I have a long list of drug allergies, yet I think its the dyes and other ingredients to which I am reacting.

I saw an allergist. She was able to find some of the substances I can/cannot tolerate.

(((( FUZZYBEAR ))))

I hope you can find answers to your allergies!

I'd get tested for all psych meds.

[ComfortablyNumb5]

What about doing that DNA test that tells you which meds you CAN take? Maybe you won't be allergic to those. And I would stay away from the steroids unless you absolutely have to. They can cause a mess with BP

It does sound like you could be allergic to the fillers or dye like Wild Coyote. In the US at least you could have your meds filled at a compounding pharmacy where they could use different inactive ingredients than normal. As for not wanting to see an allergist, as RxQueen 875 pointed out, that could be dangerous--and certainly important enough for you to overcome your dislike of doctors.
