H2 Blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, Axid) (Page 9 of 52)

This is the greatest piece of advice I've ever heard. I took 40mg of Pepcid AC around an hour before drinking and I got a little warm and pink but nothing compared to before. My heart wasn't beating like crazy and I wasn't falling over with dizziness either.  I didn't feel like I was about to puke and die from the heat coming from my face. I felt so much more in control of my "drunkeness." But... I still want to elimate ALL redness. I still looked pretty messed up by the end of the night. Any tips? Should I take it earlier? With food? Reguardless, this is the best thing EVER. I thought getting drunk before was fun but now it's even better!

This has been a life saver for me.  I take 60mg of Pepcid AC an hour before I drink and I dont' get the insane heartrate, instant "hangover" the pounding headache, or the redness that much...if at all (very little).  I've tried it twice so far and I have been very impressed with the results.  The way I use it is by taking 60mg and drinking a couple big glasses of water (4 cups) before i start drinking.  The first time i drank I had 1 shot...walked to the party about 45 min later and had 5 more beers over the next hour and a half.  I was slightly flushed but that was about it.  The second time I took it 30 min before and took 5 shots in 45 min then the 6th shot at 1 1/2 hours after my first.  Didn't turn red at all and looked at most a very little flushed but nothing much.  I have also tried to wait an hour or 2 after your meal before taking the pepcid AC because I heard that food reduces it's affect.  Best of luck to everyone and thank you for this awesome help.

this must be a hoax!!

Ok..just to clarify so nobody wastes their money or time.  Cheerz does absolutely nothing.  Package recommends 2 tablets for every 2 drinks.  I took 2 with first drink and 2 with second drink.    I was blistering red after the 2 drinks and felt like crap.  Pretty much acted like a placebo pill.

hey, i just found this tonight..... i have read the whole forum... and i really want to try it

but one question.

if you take pepcid like, fri,sat,sun.... could you die...get sick... something? lol just wondering

As an experienced user of Pepcid AC MAX, I know this for sure-- It works best when your metabolism and activity is higher.  For example, I get virtually no redness or even pink when I have a very active day at work, walk around a lot, eat light, and then start drinking in the evening (for best results I have breakfast and lunch but skip dinner and start drinking around 6pm).  On the other hand, when it's a Saturday and I sleep in late, lie on my couch all day watching TV, or take a nap during the day and then take Pepcid and start drinking, I always get some redness and my eyes get a little bloodshot.

hey, it says for Zantac it says heartburn and indigestion... if i take it when i dont hav a heartburn problem could something happen to me????

be the way, they dont sell Pepcid in Australia the person said its only in america or something.

could someone reply to me :)

So all up you take 100mg? I only need 20 or 30mg for it to work. I take it 30 mins to an hour before drinking, and don't eat in the time leading up or whilst drinking.

i got a packet and with 1 tablet being 150mg, how do you guys take 10mg? do you guys crush it?

You can get Pepcid in Australia, it's called "Pepcidine M". It's 20 milligrams of famotidine per tablet, and it works. It's prescription.

Just found this forum tonite and would like to contribute a few things....

I read bout Pepcid AC. Tried it a few weeks ago. took 20mg... went to bar about 30min later and had a Miller Lite beer. Feelin pretty good. Was hungry so i ordered some food...it was dark, didn't know if i turned really red.

Finished my miller lite with no drastic consequences... ordered a 2nd beer... didn't finish it, but i felt good.
One thing I noticed was i was burping alot more than usual. Don't know if you guys ever noticed it but when I burp, i know it's a good thing. When i first started drinking.... i would feel like sh*t and not burping as easy...

Week later another drinking episode...
No Pepcid AC....but i did go out and chugged a bottle of milk... Heard somewhere that drinking milk a while before helps... so i tried it. 15-20 min later, ate some greasy chinese food...5 min later had Jager Bomb and some Soco and Lime...... BOY WAS I RED and FEELIN IT!! headache nausea dizzy hot..... u name it. Pepcid AC might have helped...

Couple of myths i hear that i wanted to try.
Drinkin the weight gainer before a long night of drinking. Weight gainer has lots of nutrition, makes u feel bloated ( could expand stomach perhaps). Asian friend of mines says it works for him... haven't tried it yet, but will post results when/if i do.... anyone else have testimonies on this???

TOnite another episode....
No Pepcid, no milk, no weight gainer... had some hot&sour soup (11pm).
12am - Apple martini ( apple schnapps and some weird brand of vodka - not grey goose or B...) 5-10min later... Red like mofo, heart poundin, nausea, dizzy... the whole 9.
1230am- stopped drinkin... feelin like dookie.

130am-2am
Burping begins...by this time i'm feelin a little better.

If i take this everyday for say a week *cough*schoolies*cough* would it potentially stop working?
Argh i hate this i feel like such a douche when i drink! I get comments like "are you sunburnt?" "wow you're red" "why are you so red"
