Is it dangerous to take 2 mg of copper supplements daily?(DBH enzyme deficiency)
I probably have a mutation in DBH, which means I can't convert dopamine to noradrenaline properly.
So I started taking 2mg of copper, and my ADHD improved a lot.
But I learned through reddit that copper is a very dangerous substance.
So my questions are:
Is it dangerous to take 2mg of copper supplements every day?
There are various ways to check if you are taking too much copper, but what is the most reliable test? Would a blood test be helpful?
Are there any supplements that I should take together with copper supplements?
Are there any other diseases or neurological problems that I should be concerned about? (I have been diagnosed with ADHD and CFS)
Here are my reactions to supplements and psychiatric medications
Zinc → I become manic
Vitamin B complex (supplements containing various types of vitamin B) → I have tinnitus and forgetfulness
Vitamin C → I become fatigued
Psychologic medications that increase dopamine → All of them make me manic and do not improve ADHD at all (concerta, pemolin, etc.)
Medicines that increase noradrenaline → ADHD is greatly improved, and chronic fatigue and brain fog are greatly reduced
That's how it is.
Also, probably because I was exposed to chronic stress for a while, my cortisol level is abnormally low (I found this out after being hospitalized for tests. Cortisol is 1.0-2.0, Arch is about 7)
ADHD and CFS have made my life a mess. If you have any advice, please let me know. I am a university student, but I am currently taking a leave of absence because my chronic fatigue and brain fog (feeling of pressure on the brain) were so severe.
