For the past 6 months (and really the past 3 years without really knowing what was going on) I’ve been having a really hard time finding the right balance of the B vitamins that prevents deficiency but doesn’t overstimulate me. Recent lab work has shown me that I’m negative for the C677T and A1298C mutations, so have I been wasting my time even chasing these methylated or activated vitamins? I’ve had more trouble the past 3 years then when I just used NOW Foods Adam Multivitamin with overstimulation, insomnia, dizziness, lightheadedness, tachycardia, palpitations, etc.
I’ve found if I want to use a high powered Methyl multi like LEF’s 2 per day, I need to take rhodiola to actually sleep, but my hair still falls out. I also feel like I’ve taken a real stimulant and after a year of that, decided that’s probably not healthy long term.
I’m taking Thorne’s 2 a day right now, just using one though with rhodiola to sleep, but still dizzy and lightheaded randomly after meals and if I stand up too quickly. I’ve also crashed my estradiol accidentally using DHEA so I’m recovering from that as well which gives its own side effects but at least I know what to do to fix that (stop DHEA lol). Getting the multi right is something I can’t fix myself. Too much Methyl b12 and I wake up at 12am and can’t sleep for hours with horrible bruxism. Too much p5p and I feel like I’m on amphetamine. I really don’t know where the dizziness for hours after meals is coming from.
So again, should I just go back to a normal multi instead of all these activated Methyl vitamins? Does anyone have any thoughts or advice? Thanks.
