Hi,
I want to discuss an issue that has been bothering me for quite a long time. I am hoping that you guys can advise me regarding the best approach to deal with this issue which I will mention soon. I have this "slight social anxiety" which I can't pinpoint the root cause for it. I will do my best to describe this issue that I'm having.
A few years ago before I started taking supplements, I had virtually no social anxiety whatsoever. I was calm, confident and had no social anxiety whatsoever whether that be with conversing with individuals or large groups etcetera. Recently, I've observed that when conversing with someone I have slight nervousness and my eye contact can waver and in addition to that when I go to places which are crowded and have a lot of people, I feel my "flight or fight" mode kick in. My heart rate increases rapidly, I feel shaky and can't remain calm. Not only that, I seem to be quite sensitive to sounds too. When someone calls me on my mobile, my body reacts to it and has this slight feeling of anxiety (this never happened before). When someone knocks on the door the same reaction occurs. Again, I want to emphasise that this never occured before. Before, I was just calm, absolutely calm. Zero anxiety or social anxiety. Now I have this social anxiety which I'd rate 2 or 3 out of 10 that has remained.
The main recent changes I made was taking a mens multivitamin. This multivitamin is called Wellman Original (by Vitabiotics). Intially, upon taking this supplement I felt good and had no issues but some months after I noticed that I was in a continuous state of "slight nerves". I suspected it was the 1 mg Copper found in the supplement causing it. I then took 25 mg Zinc and then 1 day later the feelings of having "slight nerves" went away. However, unfortunately after a few months of use the anxiety returned. It's a bit difficult to describe this feeling of having "slight nerves" all the time but I'll do my best to describe it. It's like whether I'm in my house alone or outside, I don't feel completely calm physically. If that makes sense. I always feel jittery physically regardless whether I am at home or outdoors. I have no mental worries whatosever, I physically seem to be in a continous state of having "slight nerves" as described previously.
The obvious advice would be to stop using the supplements and assess how I feel and I am in the process of doing that. It's quite an unusual experience of having this feeling of anxiety and wondering has anyone else been affected by this?
Has anyone felt this way taking supplements and was cured upon stopping use?
Many thanks for your assistance.
