Reversing antihistamine tolerance

Hi folks,

I've a huge problem and need your help.

I suffer greatly under both anxiety and chronic insomnia. In the past, I was quite sucessful in overcoming sleeplessness by taking H1 antihistamine agents (Promhetazine, Levomepromazine, Melleril, Quietapine, Doxepine, Benadryl, Mirtazapine and so on and so forth.).

Unfortunately I built up with time a very strong tolerance to the sleep-inducing effects so that in the end I could only fall into sleep with Mirtazapine (45 mg) and Levomepromazine (100 mg) and even so there was no guarantee I would achieve it.

For that reason I decided one month ago to take an antihistamine drug holiday/break of two months so as to reverse my tolerance. I'm currently rotating between benzodiazepines and chloralhydrate in order to find sleep.

Alas, I unwittingly took 25 mg of Levomepromazine yesterday which I crunched in my mouth, believing it was a benzo. As I realized my mistake due to the sour taste of the pill, I quickly spat it out and then cleaned up my mouth with water I also spat out.

In spite of that effort, I fear I might have swallowed a small quantity of the levomepromazine pill since the sour taste was still present in my mouth afterwards.


Now my question would be: could that interfere with my drug-holiday and abstinence from antihistamines?

In other words, in one month will my tolerance be as low as after two normal months of abstinence or higher due to the mistake I made yesterday?

Maybe my worries are groundless.




Many thanks for your answers and advice!
