Anti-histamines other drugs

This list shows other products that either have no record of involuntary hallucinations, or which have no record but do have some record of abuse.  It also includes those which have a record of involuntary experiences, but of fairly low figures.  In addition some drugs that are simply derivatives of the ones already described are also included – such as Benadryl.   The reason that a drug may have no record of hallucinations may be because it is not available in the USA.

Acrivastine - Acrivastine is a medication used for the treatment of allergies and hay fever. It is a second-generation H1-receptor antagonist antihistamine and works by blocking Histamine H1 receptors.  It is sold under the brand name Benadryl Allergy Relief in the U.K., not to be confused with Benadryl Once a Day, which is cetirizine.

Methapyrilene is a first generation H₁ histamine antagonist.

Together with scopolamine, it used to be the main ingredient in Sominex, Nytol, and Sleep-Eze. It also provided the sedative component of Excedrin PM. All of these products were reformulated in the late 1970s because methapyrilene was demonstrated to cause liver cancer in rats

It has relatively strong sedative effects, and has been used ‘off-label’ as an over-the-counter sleeping pill in a similar manner to other sedating antihistamines such as diphenhydramine.  Pheniramine is generally sold in combination with other medications, rather than as a stand-alone drug, although some formulations are available containing pheniramine by itself. As an example, Neo Citran contains pheniramine.

Phenyltoloxamine is a first generation H1 histamine antagonist.  It has, like most first generation anthistamines, sedative effects.   What makes it rather interesting is that it is widely used in many many other preparations as an “enhancing agent”.  It is found in some analgesics and antitussives along with acetaminophen and aspirin, but also opiates such as  dihydrocodeine,  codeine and  hydrocodone.  Given the potentiating efffects of anthistamines on opiates this combination must be very ‘interesting’.
It is also sometimes used by itself or in addition to dextromethorphan.
Perhaps one of the most extraordinary features is that it is used in some proprietary preparations available over the counter for backache, muscle strains and similar conditions. This brilliant bit of marketing understatement  says it all ….
“Phenyltoloxamine is one of the more effective potentiators of codeine and derivatives such as ethylmorphine, dihydrocodeine, oxycodone, nicocodeine, hydrocodone and similar drugs like tramadol and propoxyphene for all indications [sic!] including  pain relief”.
