Question: Hi, I bought Schiff MegaRed Super CoQ10. Each softgel contains 200 mg CoQ10, Vit E d-alpha tocopherol 200 IU, and vitamin A
(95% as beta carotene and as mixed carotenoids). Even before purchasing this product I was having some problems sleeping. I took the first pill 2 days ago and I don't think it changed the insomnia, slept around 5 hours that night. Then I read at 200 mg CoQ10 could cause insomnia.
So I was wondering if it would be better to attempt to cut the softgel in half, though I have a feeling the gel might be liquid so would be impractical. Or take the pill ever other day.
Would you have an opinion concerning CoQ10? I had read it was good for heart muscle. No physician asked me to take it. Recently I was given some tests for severe fatigue and all results were negative. (Blood tests, CAT scan, Stress Test and Doppler for heart) and told me I should fine. Anyway I have started light weight training, walking, and other exercises and the fatigue seems to be improving.

I am just concerned I might be taking too much CoQ10.

I am a 62 year old man with sleep apnea, my cpap machine says 13 cm. I also have moderate to severe psoriasis and use Triamcinolone Ointment 0.1% and Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%. Other than that I believe my health is fine.

Thank You.

Thanks so much! I had sort of planned to take it alternate days, but wanted to hear from a doctor first.

Thanks, XXXXXXX
