Their words about each treatment
- nicotine patches · No change
For the most part I didn’t really feel any better or worse, but I did start having more stressful/bad dreams and kept waking up anxious at night.
In context ↗ - loratadine / cetirizine · No change
I haven’t really noticed a change. I maybe have a tiny bit more energy today, but I can’t tell if that’s because I’ve been resting more.
In context ↗ - famotidine · No change
I started taking H1 and H2 antihistamines (40mg loratadine + 20mg famotidine daily) about 1.5 weeks ago, and I haven’t really noticed a change.
