coenzyme q10, feel worse

does anyone know what that might mean if you get a headache when u

take it or just feel generally worse, a little herxish?

I tried it in past, think I tolerated it even years ago but noticed

didnt like it couple years ago.

Its not as bad as N-AC makes me feel but suspect it caused headache

with one dose and the next day am feeling malaise.

I am also trying LDN the last couple months,very small dose, so not

sure how it might interact with dif supplements.

take idebenone instead of coq10

[Moderator: From Wikipedia:

" Idebenone (pronounced eye-deb-eh-known) is an organic compound of the quinone

family and promoted commercially as a synthetic analog of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

Idebenone is claimed to have properties similar to CoQ10 in its antioxidant

properties.

Idebenone is different from Coenzyme Q10 in one very important way. During a

hypoxic (low oxygen) condition, CoQ10 can switch function from an anti-oxidizing

to an auto-oxidizing process. This auto-oxidation rapidly produces free radicals

which damage the tissues of the body.[verification needed]

Idebenone is said to perform the same functions as CoQ10 without the risk of an

auto-oxidation reaction. "

This difference may be very significant for CFIDS, because of the probability of

some tissues (i.e. brain) being in a low oxygen state in which case, you do not

want it to be auto-oxidizing!

My directions from Dr. Cheney were to take one idebenone for every Coq10.

Right now I take only idebenone...I'm pretty irregular on many thing

atm...anyway, it's in a topical cream/gel form.

I also felt worse on Q10 - in the same way you describe.

At the time I thought I felt worse on it either b/c it lowered my

blood pressure or b/c it just did not agree with me.

Now I wonder about Mike's answer being the reason.
