Hi,
For two weeks, I've been taking 800mcg of AdCb and 250mg L-carntinine and 250mg ALCAT. I experienced a bit of need for more K+ and take 200mg.
Today, I started 600mcg of MCb with 100mcg of methylfolate an hour before. While the MCb was dissolving, I started to experience a runny nose, sneezing, nausea and cracking/eczema on my hands. I wonder if this is folate insufficiency? I took another 100mcg of Mfolate 4 hours later and a further 100mcg just now. I plan on taking a further 100mcg in four hours. This would be 400mcg with the 160-300mcg of B12 absorbed. Is this perhaps too little? If so, would it be a good idea to try 100mcg every to see when the runny nose stops, etc, or perhaps just from now on start taking 200mcg every 4 hours instead. It strikes me that if 100mcg didn't work at the time of the MCb then clearly any dose on the half-life needs to be well above 100mcg, e.g. 200mcg x 4 daily.
I am putting on about 3-4Ibs a week at the moment. I look a little bloated around my stomach, which might be another sign of folate insufficiency. After 300mcg total folate today, I'm finding I'm urinating a fair bit more.
Also, I'm quite astounded by how "bright" everything is, and how loud and abrupt everything is. I can cope with the feeling of being stun gunned, mostly because I feel quite euphoric as well!
So, moving forward, assuming that I'm not getting enough Mfolate, is the best course to increase that until the running nose, etc., stops; watch for increased need for K+ over the next couple of days; titrate up the B12 only when the anxiety subsides; and then address any K+/Mfolate deficiencies this causes?
Incidentally, might the nausea be from the Mfolate? I have a weak stomach. Can it be taken with food?
Thanks a lot.
