anyone taking co-q 10?

Hey, I know this isn't really an anxiety med, but I was wondering if anyone here takes co-q 10 vitamins?

I am asking because I tried them a few days ago, and only took them for 3 days, I seemed to have a bad reaction to them, the days that I took them I felt really sick almost like the flu, and just extremely tired. For anyone on them, is that a normal start up reaction? Does it subside? And if so, how long does it take?

I would like to take them for the benefits, but if I am going to feel like that when I'm on them I would rather not take them at all.

I took CoQ10 for years and never had any side effects. I'm not taking any supplements currently because my stomach is so sensitive.

My mother takes. Co q 10, has for years...its supposed to be good for your heart. Did the supplement come from a reputable company? Perhaps it was an inactive ingredient that madevyou feel ill?

They came from puritan's pride. I'm really not sure what did it, but I really felt bad when I took them, almost flu like.

I may try it again, but I was just wondering of that was normal start up symptoms.

I used to take it back in the day then switched to ubiquinol which is supposed to be more active. Right now I'm taking Idebenone which seems to similar but more of a mental effect which is mild but I like it.
