Hi susieq7777 - It was good to get your reply. After I phased out the zinc and other copper-reducing supplements my psychological symptoms and energy level improved a lot. I stopped having the extreme emotional reactions I had had during my copper dumps. I decided not resume taking those supplements because the copper-dump symptoms were so severe. A few months later I got a reading from a medical intuitive. He told me that he detected some minor adrenal fatigue and copper overload, and that other issues were a higher priority at that point in my recovery. A year or so later my adrenals started improving a lot, and I was able to phase out my adrenal supplements. My adrenals have been strong ever since, and that had made my ongoing detox and every other area of my life much better.

My experience was that after I took the copper-reducing supplements my body started dumping large amounts of copper, causing severe fatigue and psychological symptoms. After I stopped taking the supplements the symptoms improved, and my body was then able to eliminate the copper more gradually without need for the zinc and other copper-reducing supplements. As my adrenals got stronger they were able to eliminate more of the copper more easily. Eliminating the copper has been a big help in keeping me more balanced emotionally. Before the copper dumps I used to get angry and upset with little provocation. Today my anger and upset lasts a few seconds, and doesn't compromise my life at all.
