what do people think? Do the pros outweigh the cons with this drug?

What cons?? I don't see any cons. Who said anything about cons? Lowerred serotonin is now considerred a con?

 

[biggirlkisss]

it lowers serotonin but also lowers stomach acid production. But maybe it still helps overall.

In the first study famotidine was used at 10mg a low dose and was pretty powerful in lowering stomach acid.
At this point I’m wondering if the benefit I get from 20mg for glycogen storage are worth the con of messing with digestion.

 

[biggirlkisss]

ya Im thinking maybe ondancestron would be better. or aspirin or both.

 

[Antonello]

Famotidine is unique in his properties, maybe @haidut can make a topical version for reduce the stomac acid issue

 

[biggirlkisss]

that be great
