In reply to tools to offset Serzone cognitive issues?, posted by JohnX2 on February 18, 2002, at 15:30:52
Ok, here is what I think may help:
- a medicine with anti-histamine h1 blocking
properties (Trazodone, Nortriptyline, Remeron??)
- a serotonin agonist Trazodone/Serzone (mCPP)
- 5ht-2 antagonist (documented good for tension
headaches)
- potentially something to offset dizziness from
Serzone or Trazodone (Nortiptyline?)
- something to make me less nauseus on Serzone
(Remeron could do this and I tolerate it).So what do we think? I still say there is an
allergic connection that I ought to investigate
and I see lots of evidence of tie ins between
histamine receptors/serotonin. Anyways I believe
Topamax, a Gaba med is helping part of my problem
but perhaps I could get a final AD nudge and rid
myself of this myofacial pain completely.How bad is Trazodone alone?
How had is low dose Nortriptyline alone?I generally tolerate anti-histamines really well
(not too drowsy).Serzone, an noradrenergic blocker (alpha-1
antagonist) made me really sedated and affected
my motor skills making it difficult for me to
operate my car. Plus there is some sort of FDA
warning to be concerned about. I also really hated
the start up nausea. Is a dash of Remeron ok to
deal with nausea? Maybe too much crap here.oooh, what to do. I need to get back to work soon
and i really need to end this saga.-John
