Hi Claythrow, yes it can happen. Some feel better during chelation, some feel worse. You maybe on too high a dose for you at this time. May need to start lower, like 25 mg or less if you find the 50 mg too much.

Only do as much as you can handle. If it's overwhelming, you may end up chelating less as a result. better to go lower in dose so you can chelate more often.

But again, some side effects are expected sometimes, its hard to move a toxin and not experience symptoms and the mental and emotional ones are common. At least it shows it's doing something, but it's not pleasant to go through. but for sure if the DMSA is exacerbating your symptoms, you can be pretty certain it's hitting the problem!

You may have good round and bad rounds. Sometimes the DMSA made me feel better, other times worse. I would just try and stick it out and keep going somehow to remove more mercury.

I hope you can hang in there and keep doing these 3 days (or longer), cycles for a time and hopefully you will begin to see improve with reduction of mercury.
