Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been suffering from the derealization symptoms for the past 5 years. I believe they were caused by B12 shots I was taking to treat autism. After my brain scan I got to know that my inhibition was too high. I do not find any safety net to keep my mind from deconstructing things. A part of me have a dislike for anything involving neuroplasticity. There are too much dichromatic thinking and lack of magical thinking. Currently, I am on Adderall and Prozac.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concerns. I am sorry to know that you are suffering with multiple problems related to thinking and inhibition. Before saying anything I must assure you that vitamin B12 is not known to cause any of the mentioned symptoms and we need to find out the alternative reason for causation of these symptoms. They can be due to autism itself or may be due to other psychopathology that has been arising due to autism. It is also possible that you are excessively sensitive to minor changes in thinking process. Before we make final decision, I would request you to post follow up query with the following details. I will be glad to assist you in recovering from all kind of problems related to mental health. 1. Reports of autism assessment since childhood. 2. Reports of neuroimaging like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan. 3. Your latest assessment by a psychiatrist.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am working on getting that information to you. In the meantime, I will tell you that I had lot of other vitamins at that time. But, I cannot remember them all off the top off my head. I know vitamin D3 and omega fish oils were among them. I only remember that taking some stuff that had to be mixed in distilled water and some yellow powder stuff I mixed in tap water that tasted like orange juice and made me nauseous if I drink it in empty stomach.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. I am pleased to inform you that similar to vitamin B12, vitamin D3 and omega fatty acids arenot known to damage brain in anyway. It is not possible to know what was that yellow substance which made you nauseous and the stuff you mixed with distilled water, so I am unable to comment on that part. I look forward to get more relevant details to answer you precisely.
