your going down the pharmaceutical path ... that will just make it more impossible to solve your problem ... one purpose of the AIP is finding out if something in your diet is causing the problem ... you go on it for 30 days and see if anything has improved ... your going to have to reexamine your approach to the problem

My GP gave me Valium and Zopiclone because I was in a highly stressed and anxious state and could not sleep at all. I’ve been on AIP before but lost too much weight.
Is this reaction ever likely to end now or am I seriously screwed up? Is this a time thing way I wait or do I need to intervene here? I don’t know whether to seek out a practitioner or wait this out.
It feels like it all comes and goes. Wednesday night again I thought I was fine.... Thursday evening again set off
yes I really didn’t want to
I’ve never taken pharma drugs before. But nothing would calm me. I was honestly not that bad before I took this stupid supplement and now I have no idea what to do. This has all been a direct result of the folate.

When I did AIP before I had no noticeable issues with food at all I just lost weight. I removed gluten as that was a problem and that was it. I now feel like I’m in a massive hole after taking this folate I never had so many problems.

Taking nothing else and thinking the mag would be a safer alternative to the script drugs as it’s pretty gentle and should help sleep nope I’m even worse now. I give up I’m not getting fixed. Big big hole where everything just gets worse. Anyone reading this please don’t take methylfolate unless your practitioner really knows what they are doing. I’ve been effectively poisoned.
besides anxiety i don't know what you have ... what happen to you is rare
it makes no sense why you can't take the magnesium threonate ...
any folate you took should have run it's course
Methylfolate Side Effects:
irritability
insomnia
sore muscles
achy joints
acne
rash
severe anxiety
palpitations
nausea
headaches
migraines

I’ve read of people permanently worse off after taking folate and this sounds like me now. It seemed to give me increased anxiety which I thought was over on Wednesday but now I’m burning up with stomach pain. Perhaps something else is happening to me at the same time. I can’t figure it out.

Unfortunately I am still worse off after this incident. I cannot work at present and barely move.
I struggle to sleep, still get overstimulated, had a reactivation of UTI, feel ocd/adhd type symptoms. I had several seizures - I think as my brain was so stimulated. These have now stopped. I’m struggling with my digestion and have some muscle and joint pains on and off. I think it will take time and possibly assistance from a functional doc to really help me here - if indeed I even can be helped and recover from this.
Unfortunately I fear this incident has ruined my life. I urge major caution to anyone reading this.

It’s more all the physical devastation this has left that is messing me up unfortunately. I now have so many more problems than before. I had stabilised my gut, thyroid and bladder before all this. It’s like something nasty has been stirred around or it’s created devastation amongst things that weren’t perfect but were balanced.
Booked in with a functional doc tomorrow but I don’t see a way out.

Well I have a few more answers.
Seems like I likely crashed my serotonin levels. I’m still reacting to food with high folate levels. I have to avoid it. No idea if this will wear off gradually... eventually. Seems I was ok that Wednesday again and I inadvertently set it off again by eating something with folic acid in - it’s mixing the two together that’s caused me issues. Last reaction 13 days this time it’s been 15 days

It's been a couple years, but have you recovered from this? What was the solution?Well I have a few more answers.
