Regarding the gel caps vs tablets thing, it might not be all in your head. I think I remember hearing about studies (which were in regards to generics, and whether the people who felt that generics were less effective were right or not) that showed that the excipient the meds were made with could interact with the active principle. So it could be possible that the excipients in the gel caps aren't the same than in the tablets, and that it makes a difference.
I am also on daily reactine for a strange histamine reaction that results in spontaneous facial angioedema, which is hives of the deep tissue in my face. I swell up like one of those bulgy eyed goldfish. Recently discovered it's triggered by exercise. I'm literally allergic to exercise lol. But the allergist told me it'll go away as quickly and mysteriously as it started. Anyway, do you have a drug plan? You can get a prescription for it.
Gel capsules release active ingredients more consistently than tablets, since it tends to be that once you hit the digestive/gastric system that release tends to be varied depending on person to person due to variations in pH, physiological differences. etc.
