Could Medication For Chronic Anxiety Cause Eczema, Allergic Type Reactions, Itching Red Eyes?

For the past 8 years, I have eczema, allergic type reactions, mostly on the face and neck, sometimes elsewhere. My eyes are always cracked in the corners and itchy. I often get itchy redness around mouth area. I am a very healthy eater, mostly vegetarian, I exercise as well. Could this be caused by a medication for chronic anxiety that I have been taking for about 14 years: Clonazepam? Thank you for your time. God bless.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the allergic condition that you have may not be because of the drug that you are taking for anxiety, but this could be hypersensitive reaction, anti-histamine drugs gives good response in this I treats my patient if ever comes with such complain with the following drugs,
1) Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day
2) Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg twice a day
these regime gives good results., hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
