So I was taking fish oil with 5htp. And I started getting these muscle spasms. They were focused in the eye and all over, I couldn't sit still.
I also notice and accompanied anhedonia, where I had no anxiety, no depression, just an utterly unbearable flat feeling. So I went off everything and the feelings still persist.
But what is MOST troubling is the fact that I no longer respond to any drugs/medication anymore. Alcohol, caffiene, adderall, pain killers, no longer effect me at all. And I don't feel any emotions either. (I took adderall since 7th grade and I never had a problem with tolerance)
The only thing that seems to have any effectiveness is 5htp and tryptophan, for some odd reason when I combine medications with these, the medications will start working again but not as quite often as they were.
I still experience involuntary spasms but they're not as bad as they were. I am no longer able to sleep because they seem to happen right as I'm about to fall asleep my whole body spasms, instantly waking me up from the semi-sleep state I was in.
I have researched this for weeks and weeks but I am not even close to finding and answer.
I have encountered one person experiencing the same exact symptoms from the fish oil. He was also coincidently taking 5htp with it.
I feel like my nuerotransmitters have been shut down. I've been like this for a while and I just don't think that there's a way out.
