I really am looking for anyone else that may have experienced what I'm going through with folic acid.
I've been taking it for nearly a year now and all was fine up until about 4 months ago (just as my periods stopped, wether a coincidence or not?)
When taking them suddenly made me feel really awful.
To begin with I didn't believe it could be due to the folic acid so cut everything and then reintroduced stuff singularly and gradually but as soon as I did over two days of folic acid I got the same symptoms.
It doesn't matter when I take them (morning or night) but they would make me feel like my insides were shivering, I would feel a bit confused, get awful tummy aches, feel dizzy and if taken in the evening I would wake up in the middle of the night with all these symptoms plus a hot flush/temperature feeling and this awful feeling of impending doom.
I've told my Doctor who seems to think it's impossible to be the folic acid but hand on heart I've cut everything and tested it twice now and both times the same thing has happened.
I'm taking 500mg once a day, so not even that high a dose and taking it with food.
Please tell me this has happened to other people and I'm not going mad!
Also some anecdotal evidence of others would be good to go armed with for my next Doctors appointment.
