betahistine for cognitive dysfunction (safety etc?

Posted by psychobot5000 on October 1, 2009, at 18:10:41

Hi,
For the last few weeks I've been taking betahistine, the H3 antagonist, help with my executive/cognitive dysfunction. I was tipped off to the possibility of using an H3 antagonist because my allergies severely exacerbate my cognitive issues. So far I believe I've noticed a decrease in daytime sleepiness, which is helpful.
2 questions:
Safety? How safe is this medication? I take it during the day, and then take H1 antagonists like benadryl and doxylamine as sedatives before bed.
Secondly, anyone know if there's actually a valid rationale for taking this medication in the first place for cognitive dysfunction?
Thanks,
Psychbot
