Multiple Chemical Sensitivity vs hypersensitized nervous system

Toothpaste now gives me mouth ulcers and can trigger mild acid reflux too. Probably due to one of the many chemicals, sweeteners, and flavourings the stuff contains.

 

I can highly recommend the Kingfisher brand of toothpaste (with fluoride). You can get them in most UK supermarkets, and other places like Holland and Barrett. They've removed most of the nasties, so it's as natural as you can get without sacrificing tooth health.

 

Interestingly, within a couple of days of using it my tooth sensitivity cleared up. I'd had that nearly all my life! So I can only assume a chemical in toothpaste had been causing sensitivity all these years.

Thank you so much for this advice. I’m also in the UK and will try this product that you suggested.

 

I too experienced ulcers and also mouth skin peeling from this.

 

 

Started 10mg escitalopram March 2016 and stopped CT Feb 2017.

Started 10mg citalopram May 2019

Swapped with mirtazapine mid June 2019 used for a week and then switched to Escitalopram 5mg at the end of July 2019, increased gradually to 10mg in September, 15mg in October and 20mg in January 2020. Tapered down to 15mg in April. 10mg in June then a week tapering to 5mg and then stopped CT. 
Resumed escitalopram in November 2020 at 5mg, increased to 10mg in February 2021, tapered down to 5mg in May 2021 and tapered down to 2.5 in the space of a week in September 2021. Resumed escitalopram at the end of December 2022 at 5mg, increased it to 10mg in March 2023 then tapered down to 5mg in June and down to 2.5mg in July. Started escitalopram 5mg beginning of December 2023 then stopped after 4 days. Took amytryptamine for 2 days then restarted escitalopram at 5mg, after two weeks increased it to 7.5mg, kept it for 1 week then 10mg for 1 week but two many side effects so went back to 5mg. Beginning of January 2023 stopped escitalopram for 1 day then 2.5mg for the next day. Developed  discontinuation symptoms reinstated it at 2.5 for 1 week and 1.5 for the following week then stopped. I’m currently experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

You're welcome! The mint version is lovely. They all come with or without fluoride, I always go with fluoride as that's what protects the teeth.

Oct 2018 - Jun 2020: 10 mg per day generic Escitalopram in pill form.

Jul 2020 - Aug 2020: Switched to 9 mg per day of Cipralex drops to aid tapering.

Sep 2020 - Oct 2020: Taper to 8 mg.

Nov 2020 - Dec 2020: Taper to 7 mg.

Jan 2021 - Feb 2021: Taper to 6 mg.

Mar 2021 - Apr 2021: Taper to 5 mg.

May 2021 - Jun 2021: Taper to 4 mg.

Jul 2021 - Sep 2021: Taper to 3 mg.
