@samson I haven't been feeling many of the symptoms that I attribute to being in the high serotonin state.

Also, wouldn't the cypro make me drowzy? I've heard lots of stories about how it would put people in long periods of sleep.

@sneedful I've been using thiamine as well, I forgot to mention it in my original post.

I'd be surprised to hear that viral particles can be stored directly in muscle tissue. Is the only way to get rid of it by continuing to exercise?

Also, isn't 200g/day of protein a bit excessive? I remember reading a Broda Barnes passage where he discusses how excessive protein intake can result in hypothyroidism.

@BroJonas I think so... It's definitely a possibility though. Think I read something yesterday about a lack of ample calories inducing adrenaline response.

Important to note that I don't get these symptoms while working out... and in fact, forcing myself to exercise briefly cleared my symptoms during its duration. However, they were worsened by a factor of 3 for the next day (in length and intensity)

I'm going to try bringing some fruit juice with me next time to sip throughout...

Creatine monohydrate works extremely well for my skin when I apply it topically.

Five months ago, I restarted strength training after not having trained consistently in a while.

I was highly nauseous, zero appetite, excessive brightly colored bowel movements, difficulty sleeping, pumping heart rate, greater irritability, as well as extremely possessive and untrustworthy in my relationships. These symptoms were so bad, I would be laying in bed or on the couch trying to calm myself down, which was difficult because I often didn't feel anxious about anything in particular. I stopped going to the gym, not because I recognized it was causing this, but because I felt too awful to go and having not rebuilt the habit, eventually stopped going for another few months.

This week, I started going to the gym again, and got many of the same symptoms. They have been much more manageable, and I found that pregnenolone, taurine, vitamin E, sauna, and hot baths seem to give temporary relief from the symptoms, with them only fully going away with a few days of time away from the gym. My bowel movements are better, decreased nausea and I've only decreased my food intake a little from what it was prior.

Anyone have any insight as to what could be going on?

I've been having success going once every three days, and only experiencing extremely mild symptoms for about 30 minutes in the early afternoon the day after.
