I have been taking Deplin for more than two weeks, I have seen some definite improvements in my sleep cycle. I am sleeping better and feel more well rested when I wake up. I do see improvements.
However, after 9 days of taking the Deplin I went to the emergency room with what turned out to be a small kidney stone(my first) I assumed it was unrelated to the new medication.
Five days later I went to the emergency room again because I was experiencing some strange attacks. Feelings of tingling in my arms and legs. Shortness of breath, Tunnel vision and feeling near faint. I was released with a diagnosis of Hyperventilation Syndrome. I was a little bit annoyed by this diagnosis, because I was playing with my kids when the first attack happened, not irritable or stressed. I have since had several more episodes, that are not connected to any obvious stressors. I have never suffered panic attacks or hyperventilated in the past(I'm 38).
Could this be because the the Deplin? Has anyone else had a similar side effect.
I really dont want to stop taking the Deplin but I cant function like this.
