I have been addressing my CBS defect for a couple of months with:
molybdenum -500 mcg
manganese- 10 mg
I felt I should maintain some basics I was taking on the SMP so continued on 2-3 Yasko NHF multi, 5000 iu vit D, magnesium citrate 300 mg. For one month I was taking mk-4 30 mg but ran out several days ago. I also have been keeping an eye on my sulphur with the strips, which is coming down
About 2 weeks ago added P5P starting with 8 mg and worked up to 16 mg. Then a week ago added 9 mg of coenzymated b2.
Had no problems with sleep and energy was middle of the road, pretty much no change from before the supplements although when I exerted myself it seemed like I did not have to rest as long to bounce back.................then I began to get EXTREME daytime sleepiness. Could not drive or leave the house. I take adderal and this sleepiness was so bad that not even adderall could make a dent in it.
I will add here that I do suffer from some type of borderline narcolepsy but since being on the SMP for 3 yrs that had pretty much disappeared from my life.
I wasn't quite sure what to do and figured I had upset some balance. I decided to get rid of the multi because it has so many ingredients. That was 4 days ago and I think the sleepiness is much better now.
But something is still wonky. The adderall is much slower to work its magic and I feel kind of flat and not so much tired as draggy like a limp noodle. Horrible metallic taste in my mouth
Unless someone has a better idea or insight I was thinking I should just hang with these supplements as they are for a while as I dont like to drop something without giving it a chance to settle. I do have other supplements I was planning on adding one at a time niacinamide and l-carnitine fumarate.
Want to get through this CBS thing and move to next SNP so I can finally begin addressing MTHFR.
It makes me nervous to be without a multi and a complete set of B vits. I plan on adding all the b's one at a time as I work toward methyl & ad B12.
Been going over my notes to see if I may have jotted down something that would shed light on whats going on and I see that I made a note that " molybdenum can lower blood sugar and make you tired"
I would appreciate any suggestions or insight as to what might be causing this and what I should add next as I am not knowledgable at all about co factors for various supplements or chemistry of methylation cycle and I fear may have upset a delicate balance and need help to figure out how to get it back on track.
Maybe alternate the days I take mang. & moly? Add something? Stop something?
Forgot I took 1 sunflower lecithin yesterday to see if it would help. thanks jm
