So that's my question. I've found low doses of DPH (100-200mg) to be therapeutic, not altogether unenjoyable, and perhaps useful for its SSRI effects as a mood stabilizer.
Using a dose of, say 200mg twice a day (morning and evening) as needed (i.e., not daily, but every few days), how much do I have to worry about QT-Elongation of heart rhythm, leading to Torsades de Pointes and heart failure?
I researched DPH a lot before ever taking it, and I'm surprised to see this information about Torsades de Pointes, I had neer seen it before in my research.
I was under the impression that people use Benadryl every day sometimes, whether for allergies, or for its deleriant effects, sometimes several times a week/month, and that it was generally safe, albeit unpleasant most of the time.
People sometimes use it a lot, right? At different doses. So, how much does one really have to worry about heart failure by using therapeutic doses that are rather low, between 100-200mg?
Can anyone elaborate on this? I'd like to be able to use it safely, but how dangerous is it really at those lower dose ranges?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
EDIT: I know DXM is better, and that's usually my go-to, but where I live it has become scarce. DPH, however, is widely available.
