I've been taking a multivitamin for over a year now. I have used the same bottle for the entire time except for this past June when they didn't have it in stock. So instead I bought another bottle and what I didn't realize was that it contained rhodiola rosea. To put that in context I take 300mg of modafinil in the morning and 50mg of agomelatine and 200mg of lamotrigine at night before bed. When I started using the new multivitamin with rhodiola I started getting massive tension headaches and jaw clenching. I didn't realize at first that it was due to the new multivitamin, instead I started counter medicating the side effects that I got. I had some pramipexole laying around so I started taking that, I took approximately 0.45mg per day and it helped. I also took 50k IU of vitamin D every day. This combination sent me into hyper drive, I managed to relieve the muscle tension around my neck and jaw area and I got stimulated like hell. I would get goose bumps from talking about subjects that were mildly interesting. For example if I and a colleague talked about how the current situation of the production at the manufacturing plant where I worked was going, I could get extreme feelings of wonder and excitement.
Anyhow, I finally realized that the new multivitamin was to blame so I bought my regular one again and things kind of went back to normal. I felt a bit tired afterwards but I regained most of my strengths and then went on vacation. Since then I've stopped working but I've had residual neck tension and I have a diffuse headache and weird tiredness that feels similar to having a cold. For other reasons than my jaw tension I went to the dentist and we decided to mold a jaw splint which has made wonders for my tension headaches, but I'm not cured. Now that I study again I need to exercise and I did exercise regularly until I got ill from a cold. Since I got that cold I've been ill for almost two months now. I've gone to my doctor and have had some blood tests done, we looked at the immune system, glucose, thyrotropin, thyroxine and general blood status. It all came back looking normal. That led me to look into my medication and I realized that there might be an interaction between agomelatine and modafinil because when a patient starts medicating with agomelatine it is recommended that the liver values are regularly monitored because agomelatine can be toxic to the liver. Since modafinil inhibits two and induces one of the enzymes that metabolizes agomelatine, I've ordered liver tests and I expect to get the results early this week.
I currently take 8-9 grams of fish oil per day, 2500 IU of vitamin D Monday through Saturday and 50K IU on Sundays. I take a multivitamin and multimineral every day and since I feel like crap I also take 600mg of ibuprofen and 500mg of acetaminophen which helps a lot. I've tried taking 30-90mg of CBD per day for a few weeks, but recently I noticed that I get more neck tension when I do, so I've stopped taking it now. I don't understand why it causes _more_ neck tension since it is used for epilepsy and spasticity but don't shoot the messenger, thats the way it is for me. I sporadically smoke weed to ameliorate the malaise, but other than that it doesn't help.
But what this all boils down to is that I feel like shit and I'm afraid that I might have fried something in my brain when I accidentally took rhodiola for about two weeks this summer. Let's suppose that that is the case, what can I do to unfry my brain? Or if that hypothesis is totally wacky, what do you recommend that I do?
