Vitamin C

[[Vi...]]

Anybody find vitamin C helped with withrawl symptoms, like fatigue, adrenaline issues, cortisol rush?

 

I’m 41 months out and still suffering greatly with headache, body pain, fatigue and anxiety 24/7.

I’m looking for something to help with my symptoms.

I can’t take magnesium, vitamin d, I’m gluten and dairy free eating very healthy but I find even high histamine or high glutamates food trough me back to severe acute.

 

[[Ma...]]

Yes, I do.

It lifts my iron levels, lowers histamine and mast cell reactions, fights my fatigue and my immune response is better now. I take high dosages, 1 gramm 3 times a day( =3 gramm daily) and sometimes even more. Its water soluble so one cannot really damage yourself like non-water-soluble vitamins can do. As a side effect some get diarrhea but that would be the sign the dosage is too high, but I never got it even under 7 gram nothing happened.

I use the pure vitamin c from the brand pure encapsulations. Not the one with calcium in it That is the buffered version, which I do not like.

For me, it pushes me so I do not take it right before I go to bed.

If you take any minerals take the vitamin C with them, cause the acid will make the minerals better absorbed. So, like minerals you take it just with water, without food, and not together with other meds.

When you take high dosages, like I am, your blood gets thinner, so if you are a woman with an intense monthly period, just pause with vitamin C while you are bleeding and take it again, when the period is over.

 

If you cannot tolerate the chemical Vitamine there are some acerola extracts on the market as well.

Thank you Marigold  your advise. Like always you are the first one who is trying to help me 

I can’t thank you enough 

I just bought a vitamin C with calcium in it but I will look tomorrow for water soluble vitamin C  as you suggested.

First I will try the vitamin .. if is wont work I will buy acerola extract.    Never heard of that

Hoping and praying it will help me not back fire on me.

Thank you with my all heart

Yes! Chewable C, d3, B complex and turmeric have all helped. And Omega 3.

Yes, I can’t tolerate histamines now and I think this is why it helps. But my stomach can’t handle vitamin c so I eat a lot of chopped brocolli.

[[Vi...]]

I can’t eat broccoli, is very high in glutamates.

You very lucky you can eat broccoli and don’t have reaction.

Glutamate? Really? I had no idea. Spinach gives me a clear reaction. That’s awful when I eat it. I did start having a lot of heart palps and anxiety when I started eating the brocolli. I thought it was the Remeron taper but I didn’t have this problem when I first started tapering. Maybe I should cut the brocolli for a couple days and see. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes be careful with tomato broccoli, peas, Parmesan cheese, msg, mushrooms, and hole lots of staff.

I can’t eat any of them.

Good luck to your recovery

Other things be careful with remeron taper too. I went trough 3 times and was hell all the way. Slowly but steady reduce your dose.

A lots of people don’t have to much problem stoping remeron if you do it slowly.

Vitamin C is always water soluble. Vitamins are either water-soluble or fat-soluble. That means that a water soluble vitamin needs water to be absorbed, and a fat soluble vitamin needs fat. Vitamin C is water soluble no matter in which form you buy it.

If you have bought a product with calcium you need to be careful that you do not take more than 500 mg Calcium per dosage, and not more than 1200 mg of calcium daily. This means that you cannot really take more than 1 gram vitamin C. Thats why I said, buy a pure product with just vitamin c. Cause in the end you do not know also, if you react on the calcium citrate.
