I took it for a long time until I developed a tolerance for it. I think it would be particularly a shame since there are definite uses for it. I had a massive flareup of allergies when I was pregnant and that was what they told me to take since it was an older drug and its effects were well-known. That's one scary facet of the pharmaceutical industry lately -- if you read the patient information packet that comes with the prescription, nine times out of ten it says that it isn't quite known why this drug works.
