Hey woefullysober,

Sorry to hear of your experiences with the NAC, but thanks for letting us that it did not work out for you. I'm sure that your post will save forum readers a lot of time and money by allowing them to skip this ineffective remedy.

I know that this is the wrong subforum, but since the others are being spammed, have you tried using Pepcid or Zantac before drinking?

This is undoubtedly the most popular method of combating the flush, but, of course, doesn't stop the accumulation of acetaldehyde in your system.

Hopefully Convivia gets cleared sooner rather than later.

Thanks vagrant.

I will definitely try to shorten the time before taking the antacid and having my first drink.

It could be just my particular case, but NoGlo did nothing for me after a month and a half of continued use for my facial flushing. Just reduced heart rate and nausea, which could be helpful for some, but my face was surely still as red as ever.

Hi vagrant,

Just wondering how long you took the Zantac or Pepcid before your first drink. I've been reading that 30 mins usually works, so I tried taking 60 mg of Pepcid about 2 hours before my first beer, hoping that they extra time would allow my system to absorb the famotidine, but that didn't work well for me. Would 30 mins be better?


And do you take Zantac in conjunction with Pepcid? Or is it just one or the other? I've read of people taking Claritin with Pepcid, but I'm not sure if that would be effective.

Thanks
