@soxfan:
There's quite a long list of things that can cause anxiety and panic. Let me get a few of the longshots out of the way before addressing the ones (in
bold below) that may be more relevant to you:
* Licorice supplements (you said you were taking adrenal support supps)
* Hydrocortisone
* Low cortisol - i.e. adrenal crash (for most, non-hormone supplements are not enough to fix this)
* Thyroid hormones (T3, dessicated thyroid)
* DHEA supplements
* Levadopa
* A hit of mercury - e.g. having amalgams installed/removed; a vaccination; taking too much alpha lipoic acid
* Taking alpha lipoic acid with amalgams in
* Being deficient in a mineral such as zinc or potassium
* Too long on too much caffeine (coffee, but also black or green tea). Your AdreCor contains green tea extract.
* Tyrosine supplements (tyrosine is in your AdreCor)
* Acetyl l carntine is famous for causing panic, anxiety & 'other worldly' feelings
* Taking methylated folate and/or B12 (your AdreCor contains both) but not taking potassium, which they use up a lot of (potassium deficiency can cause heart palps, delerium, confusion)
* Taking l-histidine (it's in your AdreCor)
* Taking a supplement that unduly increases your norepinephrine levels. "Moderately high levels of norepinephrine create a sense of arousal that becomes uncomfortable... Moderate increases create worry, anxiety, increased startle reflex, jumpiness, fears of crowds & tight places, impaired concentration, restless sleep... The physical symptoms may include rapid fatigue, muscle tension/cramps, irritability, and a sense of being on edge. Almost all anxiety disorders involve norepinephrine elevations... Severe and sudden increases in norepinephrine are associated with panic attacks." Panic attack symptoms include "Palpitations, pounding heart or rapid heart rate...trembling or shaking...Dizziness, lightheadedness...Sense of unreality, as though you are outside yourself."
Your AdreCor contains Rhodiola, to promote norepinephrine.
Most of the above, at the right dosage, will not cause problems for most people. But you are obviously not most people.
If you think back to what you were eating/taking the week that this began, you might be able to work out the trigger.
More to the point, maybe, you are taking numerous supplements which are, in susceptible people, pro-anxiety and pro-panic.
Without further information, the ones in bold would be the prime suspects - especially the carnitine (ACL). In the susceptible - and there are many of us - too much carnitine can create anxiety, panic, restlessness, insomnia, fatigue, and above all feeling just plain
weird. There is nothing so uniquely weird as carnitine weird.
ACL is sometimes prescribed for people coming off benzos such as Klonopin.
I would also be very suspicious of the AdreCor, which has six suspect ingredients. Many susceptible people would only need one of those to make them anxious, restless or panicky.
Most of the agents I list above are quite capable of causing extreme states of anxiety, not just mild or passing anxiety, in people - like me, and maybe you - who are sensitive to them.
Your home-moving stress is quite enough to have triggered (not 'caused') your present problems.
That your present state is new to you (not merely a continuation of old symptoms) suggests that something you changed in your nutritional regime, in the period leading up to it, might have laid the ground for it.
Finally, & more speculatively, if you have a history of "horrible mental fatigue from working...shopping...socializing", & of burning eyes, & of supplements having no effect on those things - and if you "can't relax ever" - you may want to look up
pyroluria or pyrrole disorder. PD creates zinc & vitamin B6 deficiencies, which lead to anxiety - notably social anxiety - & allergies. (PD causes "poor stress control, nervousness, anxiety, mood swings, severe inner tension, episodic anger (an explosive temper), poor short-term memory and depression. Most pyrolurics exhibit at least two of these problems.")
Nothing much works to calm those symptoms - until you begin supplementing with decent doses of zinc, B6 & P5P (the active form of B6): whereupon the symptoms melt away, & other supplements often work better.
(Omega 3 fish oils make PD worse, and people with high histamine - such as many people with allergies - should not take l-histidine.)
Just about all the insults discussed above are very tough on your adrenals, of course.
