Inositol strong reaction

[lizzi]

I have really severe adrenal fatigue caused by longterm stress and anxiety/OCD.

I can’t tolerate almost any meds right now. I have many neurological symptoms which the meds always worsen (MRI clear). I have twitching, stiffness and severe restlessness/racing thoughts.

I tried Inositol but felt stoned and almost psychotic on 2 g, thought about quiting but I went down to 500 mg instead. My bulimia (from my crash) is gone in just 3 days, no heart palpitations (before I could take beta blockers x 3 daily without even getting close to this effect). I feel strangely able to relax today but also a bit “OCD-anxious” about the calming effect because it can provoke a feeling of derealization.

Because I react strongly I’m thinking about going down to 500 mg every other day instead of every day. I also take 1000 mg taurine occasionally. I didn’t like the stone feeling but because my body seems less stressed (low blood pressure, less muscle twitches etc) I think I should continue?

Have you tried herbal teas, or adaptogens like Ashwagandha? They might be good options if inositol or other treatments are too strong for you.
