Maybe Mfad could try LEVOcetirizine if he does another NSI-189 cycle, to see if that makes it any better?
Actually, the reaction was during my first dose. I am having a few tests - the prick test, hopefully to verifying histamine intolerance or other allergies, done in the coming days that require all supplements to be discontinued for a few days. So, I have not gotten to continue with the second dose and the dosing cycle. Hopefully starting Thursday or Friday next week. Was there a specific reason why you wanted me to try Levocetirizine? I can do you one better and take an antihistamine(Loratadine) or an ibuprofen. My guess is that if the Loratadine would work better if it is histamine related or an allergy while if ibuprofen worked better than more inflammation related? Even though histamine and inflammation are extremely correlated.
*Edit: Just realized that Levocetirizine is itself an antihistamine*
Talking about alcohol...this is off topic but since there seems to be a lot of brain science geniuses here; anyone knows why getting pretty drunk makes me like ten percent aware of what is going on? I don't get so anxious but I get completely disconnected from reality. It literally makes me feel like I'm in another dimension. My thinking gets so impaired and I am so out of what is going on and it really is hell too experience. When I look around I see things but I'm not really seeing anything, even if I focus on it, my brain doesn't process the visual information I become almost blind I am barely conscious of anything but still am. I know alcohol is support to affect your thinking etc but at this point? There is no way this is normal, or nobody would get drunk. It really gives me a bad time (not just because I'm anxious). Maybe this is related to my anhedonia somehow..? I haven't found answers on the internet (tho I didn't do that much) and I probably won't on here either but I needed to ask...
I'm just throwing this out there without any research. I knew this guy that could literally drink a gallon of alcohol and literally not get drunk. If he got drunk it would be only briefly. He had enzymes that were heighten allowing rapid metabolism of the alcohol. From Google, The most common of these pathways involves two enzymes—alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). These enzymes help break apart the alcohol molecule, making it possible to eliminate it from the body. Maybe you cannot process alcohol properly? Maybe you are on the lower end instead of the upper end?
Maybe you can test this theory by taking your normal intake of alcohol- EX: 4 beers and then do four separate tests. One with one beer, one with two, one with three, and one with all four and see how you respond. You do not have to do the four beer test for example because you have already done that. So just do the three other tests and see if you get "properly drunk" in terms of yourself.
Another Option: Maybe you need some thiamine?
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is caused by deficiency of the B-vitamin thiamine, and can also be seen in people who don't drink but have some other cause of thiamine deficiency, such as chronic vomiting that prevents the absorption of this vitamin. A 2004 study demonstrated that alcohol-dependent patients admitted to a detoxification facility had consumed significantly less thiamine than a comparison group of healthy volunteers. Patients with this condition have the sudden onset of Wernicke encephalopathy; the symptoms include marked confusion, delirium, disorientation, inattention, memory loss, and drowsiness. Examination reveals abnormalities of eye movement, including jerking of the eyes (nystagmus) and double vision. Problems with balance make walking difficult. People may have trouble coordinating their leg movements, but usually not their arms. If thiamine is not given promptly, Wernicke encephalopathy may progress to stupor, coma, and death.
