No, I don't think you need it. Save your $$$ for blue clothes. ;)

I don't think CoQ 10 hurts anything if you WANT to take it, but you don't have to. Whereas with DHEA, you SHOULDN'T take it if you are not in your very late 30's to 40's.

I wouldn't go that far, but it can cause jitteriness and insomnia so I feel like it's better to start small and work up to see if there's any ill effects. The 30-50 mg were people who were taking it every day forever and ever for health benefits, not taking it for a short time for swaying.

He seems fine. He's been taking that dose for a few months now. We got the bottle from Costco, and that's what it says the dose is, right on the bottle. So that's why I gave it to him. I guess I will keep it up since we have this far...

That's fine if he's having no ill effects. The prob is that there is just not a lot of study that has been done and so it's hard to say definitively about the safety.

I agree that sometimes the doses on the bottles are not what we would like. I did read that in some studies for people with Parkinsons, they dosed them up to ! 6000 ! mg but obviously that is NOT something that any of us should do.

Should I cut it back to 200mg? Will decreasing it at this time be bad?

I don't know. Since he seems to be tolerating it ok I would prob. just carry on.

Thanks AS :) I stopped taking it after seeing this thread. I'm only giving it to my DH, He's 29!

You might want to take them here and there for a couple weeks rather than just stopping cold turkey...never a good idea to quit vitamins cold turkey when you can taper them off.
