Wondering if anyone can help. I decided to try methylfolate last night a few hours before bed, since I get such great results from B12.
I took 400mcg and realized I should have started lower but didn't have a pill cutter on hand. I fell asleep for an hour (not atypical, since eating exhausts me), but noticed some odd symptoms when I woke up: shortness of breath, and also worsened POTS .. Standing up to cook again before bed became difficult.
I slept okay but today I have felt profoundly weak, like all of the energy has been drained from my limbs, and ready to collapse from basic tasks. Potassium hasn't helped. My parents did say they would take me to hospital if I wanted, but I'd rather avoid that since I'm struggling just to move, speak etc.
I obviously will avoid methylfolate but aside from 'detox', does anyone know what could have caused such a reaction? I have experimented with doses in the past and never really reacted this badly.
