Multiple Chemical Sensitivity from psychiatric drugs: You are not a hypochondriac!

[@beherenow3270]

Thank you for this! I KNEW it! Not one MD I've consulted over the years would acknowledge that my experience with multiple chemical sensitivity issues was related to antidepressants. I had one ND casually mention Mast Cell Activation Disorder, and I've been able to gain some relief learning about and managing it from that angle. I came across information about TILT years ago, but only remembered it recently (brain fog), so was happy to hear it mentioned again here. Of course MDs aren't taught about it, it's a poke in the eye to the toxic chemicals they're taught to push!

I too have had MCS disease for about 1 year, the first symptoms appeared immediately after the vaccination against the covid and worsened in February last year after the covid, my symptoms are both of an environmental chemical type but also to some foods such as gluten caffeine solanine from potatoes casein from milk etc, just now i have discovered MCS the most debilitating symptoms are neurological ones anxiety depression and brain fog every time i eat i have to fight with brain fog, can you give me any tips for fog after eating ?

@@autorepairfaidate4673Aspirin helps me with the neuropsych symptoms from food reactions. I only take it on a full stomach now because it wears away at your stomach lining over time but for me it’s a tradeoff I’m willing to make. I also stick to eating red meat and green vegetables- I seem to tolerate them the best.

​@@autorepairfaidate4673 for eating, use the mcas protocol: H-1 and H2 blockers (like zrtec and famotidine) taken at same time, 30 min before eating. If zrtec causes reaction, try claritan or allegra. Look up academic papers by Leonard weinstock...he lays out the treatment protocol.

[@maryr7593]

You are so lucky to be able to have drs recognize mcas and tilt two years ago! Now it's 2024, drs around me still dont know but they've heard the acronym. 2 yrs ago i still got the eye ball rolls. Regardless of the cause...which is highly debatable...for some it's viral infection, some covid vaccine side effect, some toxin exposure (any toxin but mold is a big one), traumatic event. I have never a heard a theory of antidepressants until now...but in US, drugs are put on market based on immediate symptoms in drug trials and they are only pulled when the long term implications are realized...same with all chemical products. Europe tests the products...long term and doesnt sell anything or any drug till after they have determined it is safe. (Ie...roundup herbicide....in US used for 50 yrs...but a person sued because they could prove they got x disease from the roundup...now it was probably rebranded as a different product with a differently named manufacturing company...US businesses are too sly like...profit over health of individuals at large). So it is possible an antidepressant will eventually be labeled as having toxic ingredients. Need a group (like fb) to start documention. I digressed sorry...since being chemically sensitive...my mind takes many a tangent without my knowing (ADD like) symptoms...but now in 2024, my pcp is at least receptive to prescribing the mcas treatments that I have researched. She still thinks it's entirely in the immunologic wheelhouse but in 2022 they told me mcas didnt exist...clearly they do not want to deal with patients. MCAS became official diagnosis in 2016 and has been in research publications (using the immunological mast cells) since early 2000s. Unfortunately they say it takes 10-17 yrs for what is found in research to get to drs in the field. While we patients suffer.

Thank you for sharing this videos . Prescribers should listen to this 🙏

Coming of psychiatric meds I became sensitive/allergic to ingredients in soap. My guess was the sulfides, but itching and hives was common until switching to natural products. I cant even be around candles that are burning, or those wax melting pots without getting itchy.

[@scottphardin]

The only thing that works for me is baby shampoo. I put it in all my soap dispensers now. I know it’s not natural but it’s the only thing that doesn’t make my hands flaky and red.

Mine started after coming off if benzos.

[@sentarose]

I searched for qeezi and I couldn't find it. I wonder if you'd put a link or something in the description. I was on medication for anxiety and depression for over 20 years and developed a bad reaction leading me to withdrawal from them and find Medicating Normal on the internet. I have bad reactions to perfumes, household cleaners that are store bought, and things like tobacco (I don't smoke but I react to the tobacco on the clothing of others). I react with sinus issues and asthmatic symptoms. I now work from home to avoid these triggers. I make my own cleaner from diluting dish soap (unscented) and from vodka (the liquor that I buy in the cheapest form for cleaning.) I also clean with baking soda but that's it.

I can no longer use antihistamines after coming off mirtazapine. The antidepressants left me with crippling nerve pain, still there after 18 months drug free, and sensitivities to medications I could tolerate before.

[@TomEatsNC]

Hey I'm taking that antidepressants. I've have mCS and food sensitivities. Do you know id it was the drug who cuases it for you?

[@delriver77]

@@TomEatsNC in my case, I became sensitive to all antidepressants, antihistamines, stimulants, excess sugar foods, caffeine/cocoa, and some vitamins (I can't overdo it with B vitamins, D or some minerals). All of these things can worsen my nerve pain dramatically. And yes, all of this happened after developing a sensitivity to duloxetine and coming off mirtazapine. I took the drugs for 2.5 years. Now, I've been off all psych meds for 19 months, but my symptoms haven't improved yet.

[@autorepairfaidate4673]

@@delriver77 for me too now it's like the disease MCS multiple chemical sensitivity or whatever you want to call it appeared after the vaccine against the covid he was probably responsible for activating the sensitive disease the symptoms then worsened after contracting the covid me too I became sensitive to coffee and caffeine immediately after ingestion it causes me anxiety and depression and after a few hours brain fog and it's not the only one also gluten the casein in milk the solanine in potatoes the starch in rice I don't know why but also the chicken causes me a reaction of symptoms the chicken contains tryptophan I don't know if it will be the latter, I'm still looking for a solution to heal or better reduce the symptoms but I have not yet found anything that can allow a reduction of the symptoms symptoms

[@autorepairfaidate4673]

i forgot before i often took antihistamines h1 and h2 + cortisone but they didn't help much now after the last visit to the neurologist after explaining about MCS and my symptoms he prescribed me paroxitin an antidepressant plus a supplement to detoxify the liver I haven't still started therapy and I have never taken psychotropic drugs, could you tell me if they bring other negative symptoms with this disease?

I can taste chemicals in my mouth. Dryer sheets are very salty. All free n clear dryer sheets. I don’t use them of course. My stepmom put them in her wash. I seen 3. I talked to her, n I thought she understood. Nope. She did it agsin last week. I get sick from it. I just wanted to isolate and rest. But my clothes I had to wash 3 n 4 times. My private areas , especially my female get attacked and it goes up into my body. Causes so much pain. And I swallow it also. Saliva. And Now, the toxins have hurt my kidneys and my liver is inflamed. And my Dad calls me a hypochondriac Again. He was using WEED KILLER. This evening. And I’ve been fighting n battling when he spilt something in their room and Stepmom putting dryer sheets in the wash machine. There are 5 of us that live here. I’m so tired of fighting. And my body now, is not doing well because of all this chemicals. These toxins. And emotionally , it drains me. Do I have to die!! To get them to listen to me???

It's a self test to see how sensitive you are to chemicals. It's used my Environmental Specialist Doctor's when assessing people who have, or may have MCS.

[@BethGainey]

what is wrong with this guy? is he supposed to be a poster child for MCS? it’s painful to try and listen to him try to complete sentences. i hope i can find some clear and concise nformation on this topic somewhere else. this was a waste of time.
