Suggest Treatment For Hyperosmia
Question: I have developed hyperosmia over the last 1 1/2 -2 yrs. It is now to the point of literally destroying my life. I can smell things that most people cannot smell. Example, I can smell the Freon when the AC is on in my vehicle or apartment and in some stores. Is there any medication I can take to suppress my smell.
Brief Answer:
You can try Metoclopramide.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There is no definitive cure for hyperosmia, but treatment depends on the cause. (head trauma, sinusitis, genetic)
Dopamine antagonists (e.g. Metoclopramide/ Reglan 10 mg/ three times a day before meals) could help in reducing symptoms.
