What Causes Nervousness And Confusion After Starting Actalin?

I began taking Actalin a few days ago and today I am feeling very jittery, nervous, confusion. I ve experienced this before when trying to take Lugols. Am I experiencing detoxificatin or should I just stop this supplement? I did notice my hair was getting less frizzy, which makes me believe I need the supplement.

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you with thanks for a consult!

I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns according to the latest medical guidelines.

Stop taking this supplement. It is a thyroid booster supplement and if you are not a patient of hypothyroidism, why to take this supplement. You should rather consult a physician to see your thyroid profile. ,ay be you are hyperthyroid and needs to lower the levels of thyroid hormones instead of taking supplements for thyroid.

One more thing that is noticeable here is that it contains Elemental Iodine too. And you said you also had the same experience when you used Lugol's Iodine. So I believe you are allergic to or hypersensitive to Iodine.

Get yourself tested for the basic blood work i.e Comprehensive metabolic panel and Thyroid profile, Fasting blood sugar and lipid profile, CBC with ESR and differentials, Vit. B12, Vit D Levels. It will give some idea if you have any issue and need some medication.
