I've been thinking about trying a 4-5 mg dose but I'm kind of scared. need to do it on a weekend or something.

We have had many reports from people who have tried these megadoses of folate and ended up with very strange, very negative results.

Remember that the standard intake of folate is 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) per day.

Hi @Sherpa...I'm no longer eating any green veggies. I just commented on what I thought could be contributing. My mind isn't sharp enough at present (if it ever was:meh:) to know if this will be applicable to you. You can only find out by eliminating them for a few days to see if anything shifts. For me it eventually became apparent that even small amounts of green veg pushed an adrenal reaction. I could probably do a small amount once in awhile, but haven't revisited this at present.
Do you eat veggies now? I realize it's been a long time for this thread, but I'm having the same issue with veggie folate now.
