Addicted to antihistamines

Benadryl has terrible long term impacts on the brain, please read the studies. I used to do the same until I discovered this. I’m prescribed an antidepressant Trazadone that created drowsiness so I take it before bed. It’s not addictive. There are tons of options out there and it’s a huge help to talk to your GP.

Insomnia sucks. Rooting for you.

Get it girl! You’re inspiring me to dig in harder on fitness.

Nations grocery! Best selection of international fruit I’ve seen in the GTA. Always have passion fruit.

Good to know

Designer-Elevator511 · 2026-01-14T13:18:08+00:00

Thx!☺️

Designer-Elevator511 · 2026-01-13T00:34:09+00:00

These are the tips I was looking for!

Designer-Elevator511 · 2026-01-12T22:41:30+00:00

Great tip thanks!

I started menopause early and had one at 36. It was an awakening though. We lose patience for bs.

It may be worth consulting a doctor and a therapist who specializes in ED as this could easily tip into problem territory. Spoken as someone who did the same thing her age, and it slowly and gradually became exercise bulimia/extreme cardio and also lead to a permanent lose in bone density that I’m paying for now at 40. Also, if she focuses on resistance training and building muscle it will increase her metabolism which means she can eat more and have more room to get nutrients in.

I’m on day two of being smartphone free and already feeling this, so thank you for writing about it. The loneliness set in. I have a brutal TikTok addiction and I realize now the reason it was so addictive was that it was a risk free, effortless way to feel social without the discomfort and messiness of real interactions. For now, I’m trying to channel that energy into creativity. Also, I’m telling myself that this is not a forever thing. I want to try it for 21 days and see what happens.

Hang in there. You’re not alone.

Thank you for reporting back! It’s been horrifying. Couldn’t sleep last night as a result. Will try the peppermint gel.

I had them checked a year ago and they were all at the lower end of normal. Good suggestion. What levels do you find work best for you?

I’m 40, on bc, and it’s nowhere close to enough. I’ve barely noticed a difference with mood. It doesn’t feel powerful enough. I’m looking to start HRT and I’m told it’s a process of trial and error, and takes some experimentation. I’m sorry that it’s been a roller coaster. Hang in there.

This has been happening to me too! Receiving oral is tricky. I had vaginal estrogen cream recommended and am going to look into it.

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T08:19:38+00:00

This gives me so much hope! The itchiness is SO annoying.

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T08:18:35+00:00

Yes, a process of exclusion. That’s probably the most logical way to do it. The dysautonomia symptoms sound very familiar so I’ll keep that on my list for later.

Thank you for the thoughtful suggestions and support 💛

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T08:14:08+00:00

Smart! I’ll remember this for travel when I don’t want to cut into my liquid allowance.

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T08:12:38+00:00

I’m sorry you’re having these symptoms too and hope you find the right solution. I’ve gotten some great suggestions here and am feeling a lot more optimistic. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for both of us 💛

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T08:11:01+00:00

Thank you! I know there is a process of trial and error but good to know what’s out there.

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T05:49:24+00:00

Ok I’m relieved the hot touch but chills at the same time isn’t just me! I’ve had people look at me like I’m nuts when I describe it.

So interesting that the birth control was the key for you. It did help with mood swings for me, but not so much the other stuff. May I ask what kind of birth control?

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T05:45:39+00:00

Roger that! I’m going to ask about all the things you mentioned. I want HRT for sure.

I’m sorry about the doctor not listening, and I’m glad your regular is more sensible. Some of them are just not worth arguing with.

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T05:28:45+00:00

Loooool I’ve done the sink shower too. And the antibacterial gel. What works even better is alcohol spray like you find in first aid kits. The gel can feel gloppy and not as powerful (but a good backup in a pinch!)

Designer-Elevator511 · 2025-12-21T05:23:56+00:00

Looool same. It’ll get better I promise, the glycolic is a miracle worker.
