Today I took 250mg Quercetin Dihydrate, if only because it comes in the same capsule of my favorite brand of corn-free Vitamin C, Twinlab. My psychiatrist said it was safe, and examine.com cited a study saying it gave no stimulation in rats. Although it has similar adenosenic properties as coffee, it doesn't enter the brain or have that effect neurologically.
Five minutes later, while surprisingly calm, I felt a strong rush to my head. I took an extra dose of my Carvedilol and titrated up to a whole 1mg of Klonopin (which I avoid at all costs) because I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now, I have had a year of strong reactions to stimulating supplements, including those I used to take daily. I developed sudden cardiomyopathy and hypothyroidism - long story, but both are well-treated. Yesterday, I even weight-lifted for the first time since March.
Could this be from the MAOB-I or COMT inhibition? I also take daily:
60mg Remeron
1000mg Depakote
40mg Baclofen
3mg Carvedilol
1/4 capsule rhodiola (titrating up slowly, I used to take a high dose)
Magnesium
Vitamin D
Thank you for any help! I hope I was clear - this episode was just an hour ago...
