After my recent crash - which some kind folk here like @sregan @whodathunkit @Critterina @caledonia and @Alea Ishikawa helped me through - I'm now in a second one, 7-10 days later. 70% of symptoms are the same:
But woke this morning in a "crashed" state. Candidate causes that I can think of:
* Paradoxical folate deficiency after all. (But of all Freddd's 41 paradoxical folate deficiency symptoms, I have only 4: "less sociable", "impaired planning and logic", "low energy", "increased irritability". And none of the body ones like diarrhea & chelitis.)
* The 10mg of AdbCbl I left behind my lip overnight. I've done that before, and a couple of times it's given me a "tired" day - but nothing as wretched as this.
* Have I increased mB12 dosages too fast again? They went from 2 to 3mg/day just before the crash.
* Despite the dosage cut, am I still on too much m-folate?
Any insights welcome - thanks to all.

Dosages:
Since Crash 1 I've been on:
2-3mg mB12
150mcg m-folate four times a day
200mcg LCF twice a day
AdbCbl every couple of days
Plus lots of 'base' supplements, & potassium chloride 4 times a day
- Can't be bothered with anything - nothing's worth doing
- Anhedonia (nothing brings pleasure)
- Uncomfortable in my own body - don't want to be here
- Can't concentrate on work
- Suddenly sleeping a lot
- All-day headache
- Very bad-tempered
