    Thank you for your responses. I agree I should back off these supplements and see how things go. I stopped the Taurine last night....as after taking it I felt worse for a short interval of approx 1/2 hour. Then wondered if the Gelatin/Glutamate capsule may be behind it. I am sleeping...

    I am so lost about about what to do....I am currently taking Theanine, NAC, Taurine, to help mitigate what I believe is a over methylation/high glutamate reaction from the excessive dosage of Fola Pro. Almost 4 weeks since stopped Fola Pro. I thought I was making a little bit of progress this...

    Well, now that I am with this wicked headache all day for 13 hours straight. I suspect that ACTIVE B6 is the cause, because it is a methyl donor. No fast pulse, but this is a just dreadful. I am just miserable with this pain. I am stopping the sub-lingual supplement that helped me because...

    Dear dbkita, I so appreciate your articulate & detailed insight. Thank you.

    I just thought I should post that I saw my Kinesiologist /Chiro.....he muscle tested me for dosage of the Potassium Citrate......I did not test well for any amount? Maybe no longer a Potassium issue. Yesterday, I had increased the dosage, but I felt weirdly worse. I did test well for (NAC)...

    I think what has happened from too much Folate is that it has raised the levels of Glutamate which is an Excitotoxin. Thus interferes with Synapses in the Brain......neurotoxin. Anyhow, it may be that the Glutamate needs to be used up somehow, diminished.....till I feel normal?
