Re: Why do I have to fight for Benedryl?! (Warning, vent!)
My Benadryl is always IV. I got it with the Taxol/Herceptin combination and have gotten it for my first Herceptin only treatment. The first few (maybe 3) Taxol/Herceptin treatments I was really sleepy and slept thru the entire treatment after the Benadryl. Now it does not seem to affect me anymore quite as much (I guess I'm now desensitized to the effects), I can still tell I'm a little slower than normal but feel OK driving afterwards (would not have done that the first 3 times). So I take it that it may be OK to try Herceptin without the Benadryl? (anything I can cut out I feel like will lessen the stress my body is under).
