No, I don't take clemastine. Clemastine is an anticholinergic drug. As such, it inhibits the activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain and may lead to increased risk for memory loss and dementia.

For years I mixed up 1 T turmeric with some unsweetened yogurt, olive oil and 1 T ground flax seed, but stopped. I need to restart again.
I also take either GABA or melatonin on occasion to help me sleep. If combined, though, they make me a little foggy the next day.
I tried nicotinamide riboside for about 6 months or so. It caused me chest pain so that was out.
I drank green tea for about 12 years. It depleted my folate which led to a B12 deficiency. Hello subacute combined degeneration!
Just try convincing an MS neurologist of that. Sometimes they're too full of themselves for their patients' well being.
I tried zinc, but it didn't work out with me.
Oh, I eat more veggies now than I ever have before. I can eat a large serving of steamed broccoli several times a week. I always feel better afterwards. I eat a lot of mixed veggie sautes over brown rice.
I also eat several pieces of fruit each day, e.g., oranges, granny smith apples, red grapes, strawberries, unripe green pears, kiwi, pineapple, etc. If I don't, I feel depleted.
I've also given up nearly all edible food-like substances with added sugar. I'm particularly sensitive to sugar now which has revealed just how bad it is.
