Dear fellow Babblers:
Thank you for sharing your discussions about NADH & B3. I have also been having issues with these substances of late and wondered if any of you fellow users might have some advice.
I take NADH to boost my motivation. For the past five months I have taken it after waking up in a dose of 5mg. NADH positively affected my motivation for the first month or so, but gradually the effect began tapering off. Side effects were also in evidence: irritability, torpor.
Last Friday I learnt that NADH builds up in the body and, given my irritability problems, came to the conclusion that I should experiment with reducing my intake to 5mg every other day.
On both Saturday and today I skipped the morning dose. Within hours, I felt incredibly fatigued to the point that I spent the better part of Saturday in bed.
On Sunday I took the NADH again and it noticeably elevated my mood (much as it did during the initial period). I had one of the nicest, most productive days in weeks.
I wonder what to do on the off days? (Such as this one). Being that this is a school-day I could not stay under the covers all day and thus tried to spring into action at 8 A.M.. What I found as I interacted with my family was that I was quite irritable and that my O.C.D. was flaring up. I began vocally obsessing about something while conversing with my mother (something that has"t occurred for months).
I am wondering how to proceed? Could this just be an issue of NADH withdrawal which needs to be endured until my body adapts? Or is some other factor responsible for my extreme fatigue and heightened irritability?
At the risk of trying your patience, I have included a list of the supplements I use (currently I am not taking any prescription drugs). I wonder if there could be any negative interactions (or lack of a synergy) due to the stoppage of the NADH.
NADH - 005mg - every second day
Chelated Pottasium - 200mg - 2X daily
Chelated Magnesium - 350mg - 2X daily
Chelated Calcium - 1000mg - 1X daily
B12 sublingual tablets - 0001mg - 2X daily
Vitamin C - 2000mg - 2X daily
OPC (grape seed extract) - 0150mg - 2X daily
Vitamin E - 400 IU - 2X daily
P-5-P (vitamin B6) - 060 mg - 2X daily
Niacin - 500 mg - 2X daily
Essential Fatty Acid supplement - 3X daily
Many thanks for your observations,
yours,
Leor
