ALA gives me big adrenal symptoms as well - lots of heart racing, feeling revved, angry, disastrous nights - and I'm on full adrenal support. But I have to take it to get the mercury out. I guess it's a question of finding the right dose. I recently increased from 8mg to 12.5mg and had a very bad time, so I guess it's back to 8mg for me.

It must be a very powerful detoxifier...
