this ofcourse says that i have been taking a smaller dose every day while on clen.How much is a small dose in terms of how much diphenhydramine/day
now, do i up the benadryl? You can up the benedryl if you think your beta receptors are being downregulated, but if drixoral has the diphenhydramine and you take it everyday that's just a plus as your refreshing your beta receptors on a daily basis
quit taking sinus meds if i can?You don't have to
has this effected my clen results? ie slowed them down?Clen works by attachking your beta receptors, which in turn increases your metabolism by around 10-12% on average, but as it attacks these receptors they are downregulated (kind of like your muscles get tired as you workout, and like your muscles) as they get tired their output decreases, meaning less metabolic stimulation. By using benedryl we can upregulate these receptors (like giving our muscles rest and replenishing their glycogen stores), which increases their ability to stimulate your metabolism and increase the amount of calories you burn. Taking this drixoral along with the benedryl, if you keep benedryl at the same dose on your third week and use drixoral when you need it will keep your receptors fresher meaning better results from the clen
