"I have a lot of allergies: grass, trees, outdoor mold, both kinds of dust mites, but the really bad ones are cold urticaria (hives when my skin gets cold) and a food allergy to cashews and walnuts. I just went through an accidental exposure to cashews in my Asian sesame salad 2 days ago (who puts cashews in a sesame salad!). While I still experienced a lot of stomach pain, I did not get hives down my throat with swelling, no throwing up for hours, and no real gastric issues other than pain for a few hours. No EpiPen used! I did add Benadryl as soon as the pain occurred and I discovered what I had done. But famotidine is a game changer for me! My allergies are better, and no more hives all winter! As well as the best ever response to accidental exposure to cashews! And the prescription generic is so darn cheap..."

"I just started taking it, but I'm already seeing results. When I read that a lesser side effect was muscle cramps, it bothered me a little. But otherwise, I'm seeing almost instant results."

"I took Zyrtec every day for a month and saw zero improvement with my sudden outbreak of hives. Then I was advised to take double doses of Zyrtec and Allegra. The only thing I got was sleepy. I've been taking Famotidine for three days. I saw almost immediate results. Today is day 3, and all my hives are gone. The itching is virtually gone. Even the dark spots the hives were leaving behind before seem to be fading. I haven't noticed any side effects except my extreme joy that something finally worked!"
