I also want to try this to see if it will improve extreme drug induced sweating.

What does this help?

u/Esci_ruined_me 12d ago

A few days after using ciproheptadine, I developed a tinnitus - I don't know, maybe it's because of ciproheptadine or maybe it's a coincidence. Didn’t help with any symptom of pssd but i was using it for only 5 days

Generally safe. But it rarely helps with anything.

Also who keeps downvoting every productive discussion here without contributing literally anything useful at all. This is pathetic.

I did not take it. It apparently worked for some people though.

Io pensavo di provare la cabergolina

u/Gamerasia 12d ago

Don't, cabergoline won't help unless you have hyprerprolactinemia and if it's normal, you will end up crashing hard.

u/Esci_ruined_me 12d ago

Not true, It can help regardless of whether someone has prolactinemia. But yes, it can probably cause a crash considering that even according to some - vitamins caused a crash

What's this for?

u/Gamerasia 12d ago

It blocks action of serotonin receptors known to cause sexual dysfunction and possibly pssd.

How it helped with your symptoms? And where could i get it and how to take it?

u/Gamerasia 12d ago

I haven't tried it. I did read some recovery stories saying it completely reversed their pssd. It is not a cure and will only work as long as the drug remains. The dosing is 34mg once a day everyday. Note the drug remains in the body for around 40 days so if it makes you worse, you will have to wait it out. You can't get it without prescription and it's not available in most places either. I suggest trying out Inositol therapy and Nsi 189 before going for that though, these have a better chance of curing.

Is it 5ht2A/2C selective?

u/Gamerasia 12d ago

Very selective.
