I think the brand name is Layalina.

QUOTE (kvtaco17 @ Jun 24 2009, 11:24 AM) lowspeedchase may be right... you could have a conditioned aversion to the flavors you have... you body might have trained itself to respond (get sick) at the smell of the shisha you tried to smoke while on meds... now that the meds are gone you body responds even though there is no reason for it. One question though, you said you got sick when you drank before, do you still get sick when you drink booze now? If you do this confirms our speculation! If not I'll have to think more lol... kvtaco17 - I've been drinking light to moderately since college (I'm 33 now) I never had a single flush with liquor until the lithium. Snice about a month ago (1 month after stopping the meds) I have been able to have 1 or 2 glasses of red wine or 1 jack and coke w/o flushing. (the flush feels like the flush you get after a heavy dose of niacin) The shisha didn't make me flush, just made my stomache roll. I still flush with more than one drink - so I'm thinking there still may be traces of the meds, after all lithium is a heavy salt *grumbles more about the screwed up medical community* thanks every one for the posts so far. Another reason to stay off meds and stick with nature's cures. Luna

I"m pretty sure the meds did it. I was misdiagnosed as bipolar and put on lithium for 2 months. OMG it was awful. No alcohol - it makes you flush like you're sunburned. Tobacco and candles made me vomit. No sex drive. And it turns out I didn't even need it. I'm just wondering - the blood tests say the lithium is out of my system - so is it mental? I will def try a different brand than my usual. Luna

Hi, I just have a question I'm hoping some more seasoned smokers can help me with. I smoked hookah for about 3 months. A dr put me on a medication that sucked. I got sick all the time, couldn't drink without flushing (face, arms, etc) and couldn't hookah. I've now been off the medicine for 2 months. I still get sick from the smell of shisha. I cant even open the container w/o a wave of nausea. I really liked hookah. ( I use the camel snus packs - about 2 little pouches a day. ) Has anyone experienced a sudden change in their shisha tolerance? Does anyone have any ideas? Luna
