An allergic reaction to antidepressants may cause difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath. This can cause a feeling of being winded or struggling to get enough air, even when at rest.
One of the common symptoms of an allergic reaction to antidepressants is the emergence of a rash on the skin. It may vary from an innocuous-looking rash to more severe conditions like hives or eczema.
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat can occur if you are having an allergic reaction to medication. It may cause discomfort or difficulty in swallowing or breathing.
An unexpected severe dizziness or feeling of light-headedness can be a sign of allergenic reaction to the antidepressant. It might be accompanied by a fast or irregular heartbeat.
Stomach upset, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea may occur as a reaction to antidepressants. If these conditions persist or worsen, it might indicate an allergic reaction.
In severe cases, an allergic reaction to antidepressants could lead to an anaphylactic reaction. This is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms include a severe drop in blood pressure, loss of consciousness, and severe shortness of breath.
Recognize your symptoms?

Recognizing if you have an allergy to antidepressants can involve understanding the common symptoms associated with drug allergies, and then identifying the onset of these symptoms in conjunction with the administration of the drug in question. Here is a step-by-step guide that can help.

Prior to taking any new medication, make sure to discuss its components with your physician. This is especially crucial for antidepressants, which may contain allergens. Being aware of the possible side effects and monitoring your reaction to a new medication aids in identifying potential allergies early.
Always tell your doctor about any previous allergic reactions to medications, especially antidepressants. This information will help your doctor choose the safest medication for your needs. If you start experiencing any unexpected symptoms after starting a new medication, get in touch with your doctor right away.
If a specific antidepressant is needed but you are allergic to it, consider undergoing a process called desensitization. Under this, the medication is introduced into your body in small doses to help your immune system get accustomed to it. The doses are gradually increased over time as your body builds up tolerance. This should always be done under the supervision of a health professional.
If you're allergic to antidepressants, there are plenty of alternative treatments for depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise, mindfulness and meditation are just a few of the non-medication options that could help manage depression symptoms. Consult with a mental health professional to find the best treatment plan for you.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
