Yes it was 5mg tabs .. my pharmacist told me to take them as it is equal to 5,000mcg and I was aiming for 4,000mcg, but didnt want to take multiple tabs a day. A few times I took a few more tabs cos I was so worried that when I added in urals and bs and green tea I may get depleted. Gosh, have I done something wrong taking this much? Now I am worried I have and may be risking doing damage ughhhh

Found this
NOTE: Be aware of the different ways folic acid dosages can be written. The term 'ug' is short for 'micrograms' and the term 'mg' is short for 'milligrams'. Therefore, 1000 micrograms = 1 milligram, 400 micrograms = 0.4 milligrams, 5,000 micrograms = 5 milligrams. This is important, because some women may be advised to have higher doses of folic acid, depending on their circumstances, and dosages over 1,000 micrograms (or 1 milligram) need to be taken under medical supervision.
So I was taking 5,000micrograms (5milligrams). I did a few times take an extra tablet or 2 when I upped green tea/bs or ural. All I can find on taking too much FA is it may cause nerve damage ... hopefully I am ok

That's all I could find as well, that it can cause nerve damage. But the reading says that it can causes damage if you have a B12 deficiency. And you don't so I wouldn't worry. And as Atomic said, it is really very rare.

Yes I was taking B vitamins so hopefully it is all good!
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
