>Thanks, I try to ed, though OCD has a tendency to make things worse (i.e. "what if this lasts forever?" etc.)
I'm the same. It won't last forever though, I'm sure of it.
>Do you know if it still hits 5HT2 receptors in any meaningful way below 7mg?
I don't know. Pharmacokinetics also vary from person to person, so the amount reaching your receptors at 7mg won't be the same as the person next door.
>Ah, okay thanks for the tip -- I'll check if diphenhydramine's available here.
There's also doxylamine, which is similar but maybe a bit more sedating. Both meds are pharmacy meds.
In Australia, there appears to be a brand of doxylamine cause Dozile, marketed as a sleep aid. It's a capsule though so not ideal for dose adjustments.
Oh, I found a doxylamine tablet called Restavit. That might be more suitable.
And UniSom Sleep Gels - diphenhydramine 50mg. The dose is too high and the caps can't be split easily. No good.
Snuzaid 50mg diphenhydramine tablets. Could be OK assuming they're easy to cut.
Sorry if you actually live in Switzerland or something!
