mustafa Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 hello @Altostrata, @Gridley i was wondering if i could take in vitamin c through skin. i believe that iam sensitive at the moment to all of the food products that have vitamin c in them. i heared of the serums, but it seems they are not effective enough in my case or i don't know and that's why actually i ask you. another question is about how my stomach respnd retroactively to foods. i don't know if i used the proper word to say it but here is the thing, i believe that i entered and suffered another bad wave because of some vinegar i had. it actually was in the olives(the vinegar) i had alot of time ago and since then iam in a deep wave. before this happened, my food list that i wasn't sensitive to expanded a little to include some kinds of fruits and other foods but when i had this vinegar thing, i started to feel sensitive again to these foods. do you have something to tell about this or what may be the reason behind this? ps: i totally think of vitamic c at the moment and how to get it because i feel that my body is tired and poorly acting and no big deal about my 2nd question. i wasn't on a certain drug all the period. i took many drugs many times and for no very long period but to simplify. --fluvoxamine maleate100 mg + amisulpride 200mg------started july 2012 and total taper in february 2015 ( 9 months without drugs then) --sertraline 100mg -------started november 2015 and total taper (withoud reduction slowly) in november 2016( 4 months withoud drugs then). --sertraline 100mg + quetiabine 25mg ( started in mars 2016 and for 7 months) then fluvoxamine maleate 100mg again for another 7months and after that a something like to use every drug for 14 days and for about 1.5 years. --my last drug was trintellix 10 mg ( used it in 12/2018and total taper in 4/2019). symptomts i have now ( bad concentration and problems in short and long memory+ bad depersonalization).
