Hi people, I am a 100% chinese and have been taking 1x generic ranitidine 150mg along with 1x Loratadine 10mg around 45mins (read about this in an experiment mentioned in this thread) before I starting drinking since last sept. Also, I won't eat anything if I'm drinking as I understand from some of the users here that it will reduce the effectiveness of the H2 Blockers, esp spicy food. My usual intake per night is at least 5 - 7 shots of liquor . Has not tried Pepcid as it is difficult to find it in my country.
Results:
My face still turn red on occasions, though not beet red like last time. But after a while, you can still feel the face burning up and pounding even though it is not that beet red. I have taken around 40 - 50 pills of ranitidine since last sept (actually I cant remember the total), no side effects as of now. As for the impact of Loratadine, can't really comment on it as I have not tried ranitidine without it. One particular thing I noticed is that the blocked nose I usually get when I drink stopped, not sure if this is the works of Loratadine or Ranitidine. However, my face still turned rather red when I'm experimenting with alcohols I hardly consume. Also, as I have not experienced hangover before, I can't share any experience(s) as to whether the medication helps with preventing/ stopping hangovers as mentioned by sweetpea.
Lastly, I don't think I have developed a tolerance for ranitidine yet. (I only take 1 pill per night). If you guys have any qns, feel free to ask and I'll answer them if I remember to pop by here when I'm here.
p.s. : I'm tipsy now and it is the main reason as to why I actually bothered with typing such a long post. Pardon me if the language/ grammar is weird/ wrong :)
CHEERS!
