Hello all,
There is absolutely no history of any mental illness on either side of my family [close or extended], other than anxiety. I myself suffer from high anxiety and am easily stressed -- usually this pushes me to perform better with school or work, but too much takes a toll on me.
I also don't do well with cannabis or stimulants (was given ritalin for ADHD); both make me very anxious and paranoid. I have tried L-methylfolate (1 mg) and it makes me very anxious and feel strange/irritable/foggy/zombie. I had the same experience with ritalin, which I know is a strong methyl donor, but not with adderall. This struck me as weird considering I should be deficient with my mutation.
The DAOA SNP worried me because it was linked to many mental disorders when I googled it. How should I interpret these results? What would be the best nutritional/supplement changes I can make to ease my anxiety and live a healthy life with these mutations in mind? Should I be concerned in any way? Thank you again!
