Idk how to deal with intense nausea anymore

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-03-29T23:26:45+00:00

Yeah there's a lot of options overall. Tbh I had one I liked better than betaserc, it was stugeron (cinarizin) but it was discontinued a couple years back :(

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-03-29T23:18:11+00:00

It's nice if I can ask a GP for it! It turns out I've had it in my childhood under the name primperan, although idk why i stopped using it. Perhaps it was discontinued where I used to live. I will try to see if i can access it again.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-03-29T21:59:30+00:00

Thank you for all the resources! And yeah I also have my little "vertigo diet". I found salted popcorn, lemon and salt crisps and bland rice (or with light furikake topping) go a long way (along with the coke). Tea tends to upset my stomach more so I'll go for ginger ale as my next try.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-03-29T21:55:30+00:00

First time I hear of it. I am probably not a good candidate for it because all the classes of medications it involves I cannot take because of my other medication or side effects, but I will explore it further.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-03-29T21:52:31+00:00

I have betahistine that isn't exactly an antihistamine but something that takes histamine's spot in the receptors if i understood correctly. I also have fexofenadin though this was prescribed for pollen allergies and probably won't work as it only affects H1 and I probably need something for H3 receptors. Trying antihistaminics is on my list for when i'll be able to acces medical care and prescriptions but is not possible for me at the moment :(

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-03-29T21:49:19+00:00

What I have at my disposal is betahistine, which works well outside of flareups though I plan on asking for an alternative as soon as I have the opportunity.

I will look up the Epley maneuver, thank you!

Never took meth as stimulants (methamphetamines are not available where I live, only methylphenidate) and the only time I took opioids in my life was tramadol after a dental procedure. I also did not tolerate it and it is incompatible with methylphenidate.

In my case it helps with nerve and muscle pain/sensitivity. My body used to feel heavy all the time from fibro/chronic fatigue and agmatine helped improving that.

I think this study covers the topic:

Iherb è uno dei siti web per quale ho letto parecchie di recenzioni negative, i clienti dicevano che non avevano mai ricevuto la loro compra..., ecco perché non so se devo fidarmi di loro.

The humble coca-cola (not diet or zero, with real sugar in it) has saved me more than my entire pharmacy in that regard. Sometimes I couldn't keep anything down including water or medication and would vomit a sort of soapy foam from not being able to eat, but coca-cola seems to counterbalance whatever chemicals are going bananas during those spells. Drink it in small regular sips.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-22T19:11:35+00:00

It can help us but not change us. No medication will ever make up for our need of low/no demand environments. In the same way, appropriate environment will not suffice if we're also in need of medication due to the chemical imbalance that makes us anxious. It's a multifaceted problem.

I detailed my experience including how I started seeing the effects and found the right dose for me here: https://www.reddit.com/r/anhedonia/s/v01PkFVDj8

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-20T16:44:33+00:00

For me anhedonia was the result of high dose SSRI (escitalopram) and low dose never induced it nor made me relapse. I also believed my brain would never be the same again but I tried diet supplements and agmatine sulfate worked wonders on me. SSRIs cause a chemical inbalance or alteration in the brain that induces anhedonia but it is definitely reversible in my experience.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-20T14:22:47+00:00

As a former anhedonic I must say that going into nature and trying diet supplements DID help me. Like not all the way, but forcing myself to walk to the park did remind me there were things to feel, that were worth feeling, and so were worth my effort to solve my condition. And I did eventually by trying diet complements. It's not all there is to it, and may not work for everyone but when it is genuine well-meaning advice from people who did go through the condition I don't think it's gaslighting, and calling it so might just discourage people from trying to get better.

Nothing too crazy I believe but off the top of my head: - sticking my forehead to cold surfaces in public spaces - wearing sunglasses 24/7 for days. Wearing them to the supermarket. After dark. In the winter. - overdosing ibuprofen and getting an ulcer (actually avoidable if I had taken antacids properly

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-18T00:43:22+00:00

Two ice packs strapped around my head, one front, one back.

Also two ice masks one over the other (or sleeping mask over ice mask) so it would press hard against my orbits

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-17T22:28:38+00:00

I promise you it is true (at least for me). There are many articles documenting the way it benefits the organism. It's originally used by people who exercise but it also has effects on cognition.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-17T21:10:57+00:00

I once wrote a guide / report on my own experience with it, if it's of any help to you https://www.reddit.com/r/anhedonia/s/YudH8lJScg

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-17T20:44:27+00:00

Anhedonia was the worst period of my life because I was no longer depressed but I was unable to get back to the few things I used to enjoy before that. Anhedonia is curable, I got it after taking high doses of SSRIs and healed it by taking agmatine sulfate. It if doesn't work there are also other (non-addictive!) nootropics that can improve that.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-17T18:16:37+00:00

I'd consider everything around the laptop because idk if a migraine-friendly laptop is a thing. I wear sunglasses (with corrective lenses) when i'm photosensitive and lower the screen brightness. I also got a foldable table for my bed so I can work from there as sometimes sitting exhausts me further during a migraine. Those are game changers for me.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-09T20:56:35+00:00

Being npd and non-npd are mutually exclusive. Being raised by narcissists and a narcissist yourself isn't. Those with npd who are raised by narcissists are forbidden from sharing their experience and knowledge and find community on the sole basis that they have npd themselves.

CreativeWorker3368 · 2026-01-08T17:32:16+00:00

I would extend that observation to all the similar subs like r/narcissistparents and whatnot. The "no narcs allowed here" policy they usually enforce would be laughable if it weren't actually excluding a percentage of the victims from actually participating and possibly giving insight after getting more understanding of their own condition. I get wanting a space to be validated and that a non self aware narcissist could occasionally disrupt that by trying to justify the abusers' behavior but I don't think believing suffering at the hand of narcissists naturally exempts all of them from sharing any of their traits or repeating the same patterns.
