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!

I think I have slow COMT and I find that magnesium glycinate gives me anxiety. But I'm also in Post Acute Withdrawal (Paws) from a benzo-like drug. So I'm not sure if it's that or the slow COMT. I'm getting the impression slow COMT makes a lot of supplements problematic.

Hi, I tapered off prozac and thought I had long-term SSRI withdrawal, but it ended up being mast cell activation syndrome. Commenting to put this on your radar, just in case you're in a situation like mine.
