Constant Fight or flight feeling

Hello,

Here and some days i started taking japanese knotweed and ashwagandha along with many vitamins and minerals, such as b complex, zinc and others. Although my energy have immensely increased, i become very impatient, sometimes nervous, hyperactive and forgetful, not only of the preexisting brain damage but due to that hyperactivity as well.
Also, i have constantly that horrible feeling of when you watch a thriller, an andrenaline rush, like i want to scream running.

Do you think that this is herx, an adaptation of my body wich in time, will become better or side effects of the pills?

Really, it sounds like adrenal involvement, and I feel like the more experienced users will chime in with as much.

Now, it COULD be a herx, but my gut response was the former. But, what do I know?

This is why they say you should start a few products at a time, so you can pinpoint what's causing any potential side effects, but I understand. I don't really do that either. I'm impatient.

I know the Ashwagandha is used by those with adrenal problems. Maybe it's just not for you? I don't know your history, though.

I've had bouts where I feel revved up and want to run off screaming into the woods. Usually after starting or increasing herbs. My herxes seem to often be delayed, around the 3 week mark. Herxes can kind of snowball for me. They come on slowly and I barely notice. By the time I realize it's a herx, I'm ready to run off screaming.

Anyway, both the herbs AND the minerals and vitamins can cause herxing. Zinc, selenium, B vitamins are all in Klinghardt's KPU protocol. If you were initially deficient, supplementing those can cause the body to release heavy metals, which can cause some of the symptoms you described.

Instead of supplementing daily, start with 2-3 x week and go from there. If needed, you can reduce the dose on the herbs until you feel better. Then increase one at a time, slowly.
