Hi everyone,

I have seen a few guafacine posts but I figured a recent one wouldn't hurt.

I have diagnosed MCAS. I take xoliar, keotfein, areus, and famotidine.

I have a million food allergies, allergic to tempuratures, scents etc.

Recently got covid, became bed ridden for two months. Got a little better, got worse, got the flu. Think I am finally turning a corner.

GP prescribed guafacine for brain fog, covid, adhd symptoms.

I have been on it for three days. It suppresses my nightmares, which I always have, but sleep is poor quality. The days go by in a blink.

I feel sad and depressed but I am so intensely hyper focused on my phone it is bananas. It hurts my stomach and just oddly makes me feel detached and I have even more brain fog.

I tried it once before, a month ago, and it really helped the covid symptoms but gave me such bad insomnia. No insomnia this time around but I just do not feel like myself.

Just curious if it has helped anyone, did you experience then same thing and stick with it. Did you you stop taking it.

Obviously everyone is so different when it comes to medication. This seems to be normal based off of their webiste.

I can only imagine the rebound to this drug which is why I am nervous.

Hello!

In the last year I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that gives me allergies that come and go.

I use to wear Wild Bluebell by Jo* Malone, such a great scent.

Does anyone have less toxic perfumes or hair oil, body sprays, etc that might be a little gentler for my system?

It now gives me headaches and rashes. Miss it terribly.

I feel a lot of warmer scents smell super weird on me. Husband says he likes the idea of vanilla, molasses, mashmellow etc but he also says he has no idea what lavander smells like lol
