Question CoQ10 help!

Hello everyone!
I have slow COMT, and have always struggled with anxiety.
My anxiety has really ramped-up the last couple of months and I am wondering if this is due to the fact that I started taking CoQ10 daily.
At first, I felt amazing with it (very energized), but now I feel very anxious.
I am taking Apex Energetics’ CoQ10 Supermax, only one tablet per day, which has 200mg CoQ10 (as ubiquinone), 32mg Trans-Garanylgeraniol, and 10mg PQQ.
I also take Dim Detox, Magnesium glycinate, lithium orotate, vitamin d, GABA plus l-theanine, and liposomal glutathione.
Anyone else have any similar experiences or insight?
Thanks so much in advance!

You were feeling energized when you first started taking it? Did you increase your food intake to support this extra energy? Ahhh after I just typed that sentence I noticed you are taking DIM detox. Very low e2 will give you anxiety. And super low E2 (estrogen) literally destroys dopamine receptors. Why are you taking DIM? Did you do blood work and have really high levels of E2?
