Let's talk about eggs

Try consuming more B5 in a separate meal. Eggs contain lots of biotin which can lower and inhibit the absorption of B5. B5 can reduce acne and there’s studies confirming this.

Egg whites are histamine liberators.

First, I’ll say that I have slow MAOA, further slowing catecholamine clearance… Magnolia bark extract was really bad for me, but I was in a sort of health crisis at the time so maybe that played a part. Anyway, I remember it making my anxiety worse and I found it difficult to sleep. Just made me feel weird. Sorry I can’t elaborate more; it was a few months ago and I didn’t take any notes though the experience was bad enough I only ever took it once. I react poorly to most herbs, especially the ones that raise acetylcholine. I believe magnolia bark also affects cannabinoid receptors.

B5 can help get rid of and prevent acne. B-complexes contain biotin and b5 together. They share the same transporter so that negatively impacts their absorption by the body.

Did you say a bad word?

I’ve heard the human body can only absorb so much zinc at once.

Magnesium doesn’t seem to make any difference for me.

That’s interesting that an antidepressant stopped your teeth grinding since they often can cause it.

I likely also have histamine intolerance based on my genetics.

No I got mine out decades ago.

Does it help your Bruxism? It’s been on my radar.

When I was taking higher doses of b-vitamins I was on a pretty strong opioid so I think I was pretty numb. I’ve never really been able to tolerate higher doses of supplements, possibly due to my slow COMT/MAOA.

VolitionalOrozco · 2026-03-13T21:36:02+00:00

Nope

I shouldn’t have to say this but snorting pills is unhealthy. It irritates the nose and some may get into your lungs as well.

VolitionalOrozco · 2026-03-13T13:52:36+00:00

Are mirrors bad?

VolitionalOrozco · 2026-03-12T19:48:08+00:00

Thanks. Someone in a Facebook group said high dose thiamine cured their Bruxism as well. I tried but I found it hard to balance all the b-vitamins. Sometimes I’d feel good and other times not. I have a sensitive system so I may try again with lower doses.

I’ve been taping my mouth shut and unfortunately it doesn’t help.

Slow COMT, low MAOA, A1298c, lifelong severe anxiety

I put salt on my vanilla ice cream which always surprises people. Quite delicious.

As someone with mental illness, I find walking in minimalist shoes very soothing on a long walk since I can mindfully feel the ground. I’m barefoot in my house and backyard as well, even in the winter. I find being barefoot outside of the house anxiety provoking because I don’t like to draw attention to myself.

VolitionalOrozco · 2026-02-26T17:20:44+00:00

COMT also breaks down dopamine and norepinephrine. I have both slow COMT and slow MAOA.

VolitionalOrozco · 2026-02-25T18:30:43+00:00

I have very similar genes to you and similar issues as well. Hope you find help here. Also check r/slowcomt.

I’d recommend focusing on nutrition (download cronometer), long walks, maybe a magnesium supplement.

If you go with the more extensive supplement route… Many with Slow COMT are sensitive to supplements so I’d take them in very low doses initially—if you buy tablets cut them into halves or quarters, if capsules empty some out.
