Interestingly, early in Covid I started taking Vitamin C - nowhere near what you're taking, just 2000 mg per day. I became increasingly less consistent after several months. However, I went through a period of feeling better and only much later, in retrospect, I remembered I was taking Vitamin C through this period of improvement.
Another factor in becoming less consistent and eventually cutting it back to just occasional 500 mg, was concern about kidney stones. And in fact, I was giving my spouse 2000 mg of Vitamin C during the same period - and they did develop kidney stones about 4 months later. We also ate a lot of high oxalate foods - spinach, swiss chard, etc., but had been for years leading me to suspect the addition of Vitamin C to these foods may have triggered the stone formation.
Are kidney stone something you've considered with such high doses?
It would be nice to hear from others who have tried Vitamin C and whether they experienced any mood improvement.
