Please could someone tell me with Benadryl to buy to help me with withdrawal from Venlafaxine, apparently there are two types!

Thank you!

    Hi,  I used the Benadryl with Acrivastine I think it's called. I don't know anything about any other one, but the one I bought was effective. Hope this helps.

    I've just looked up Benadryl and discovered that the active ingredient is usually an antihistamine cetirizine. This is available over the counter in the UK as many different generic Anti-allergy tablets. According to the internet there is a form of Benadryl which includes Acrivastine instead. I take an an antihistamine called loratadine, for an allergy. Does anyone know if they are all equally useful during withdrawal? I'm interested because I sometimes forget to take my venlafaxine, and don't notice any Ill effects, i wonder if the loratadine is protecting me from withdrawal symptoms?
