Valerie1 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Whey protein isolate Does anyone have experience with whey protein isolate? I'm experiencing akathisia after tapering wrongly from mirtazapine (I updosed when I shouldn't have to 1.68 mg). Before I read the warnings here about Point of Care products I spent $100 buying their whey protein isolate. Just wondering if it would be calming to my akathisia or too stimulating? Does anyone have experience with that with akathisia?

FeralCatman Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I have been using an organic whey protein powder since February but recently suspected it may be causing some of the nerve pain that started so I stopped taking it and it seems I was right. It has been a couple of days and the nerve pain is gone but tonight I really feel like crap and I think I may have just overdone it but I am wondering if suddenly stopping something you've been taking for a while like whey protein powder could cause withdrawal like symptoms or actually cause withdrawal from the amino acids that are in it.

Administrator Altostrata Posted June 15, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 15, 2023 No, there are no withdrawal issues with whey protein. It does supplement your protein intake, though. You might try taking a smaller amount and see if you feel better. Or, this may just be a blip. 1 This is not medical advice.
