    I started using certain supplements, such as quercetin, in overdoses sort of.

    Because I have allergies. Right now I sleep only one hour a night because I can't breath through my nose (post nasal drip and stuffed nose). I have asthma too.

    And I used, for example, 10 or 12 capsules of quercetin in the past when I couldn't breath, to help me sleep.

    Now I'm wondering if overdoses of these things could trigger something ... e.g., be causing my current stuffed nose.

    I am going off my supplements as a result. (Example--oil of oregano.)

    My theory is that these things may be good in reasonable doses, but if I use a whole lot of them, then it triggers an allergic reaction.

    I am sensitive to many things. For example, sheets, pillows, blankets, etc, are potential triggers for me.

    Thanks,

    We aren't here to offer medical advice. Sometimes, you do get a rebound effect by overusing certain products. I don't know if this is the case here, or not. Your allergist is the best person to handle this question.
