My memory is kind of shot, but I was researching acetylcholine awhile back for some reason, related to my medical condition. Dang, I wish I could remember what it was! I take 1000 mg of acetazolamide and 40 mg of lasix every day, and it may have been research on those 2 meds. The reason I am rambling about it, is because of it's relation to pain, and I do still have some minor aches, though the vitamin D seems to be helping.
Thanks GB, I appreciate your sharing your research! :mrgreen:

Actually, I must have been researching it during the early phases of withdrawal, because I found this link that I had saved, and it is about foods with acetylcholine in them, and it talks a small bit about the neurotransmitters.

So, here is my question. I'm kind of slow so bear with me. Is taking Benedryl going to help improve certain things? Put my transmittors on a more even keal? I mean if it is as easy as that to help give me the "push" I need, I would much rather pop a benedryl than prescription meds. I know I asked a general question quite a while ago about the benedryl conection but got no reply's.

The way I understand the Benadryl thing (with the generic brand is much cheaper and works the same - diphenhydramine) is that it helps initially at the beginning of the withdrawal because it is acting "similar" to the antidepressant.What a write up Greybeard! It does seem to make sense. As you know I have the extreme pain issue, but I also have a nasty case of GERD going on.

Greybeard, correct me if I am wrong here.
Mary, I have read that the antidepressant reaction you had was really negative, so this might not be something you want to try until you talk to your doctor about it. How did your doctor appointment go?
