> is this safe and true, experts?they are talking about some kind of special class of antihistamines. Histamine 2 Receptor Antagonists.
They seem to improve negative symptoms in chronic shizophrenia.
And the only substance which is able to reach the brain is famotidine, at a very high dosage, wich is not studied if safe or not.
But on the other hand, drugs like seroquel, clozapine, olanzapine also antagonise histamine 2 receptor. so.... but im not sure if blockade of this receptor is considered high enough on therapheutic dosages of these neuroleptics...
