Hi everybody, thanks for the reply's!
I quit licorice about 3 days ago and I just feel it goes better everyday. The lethargical feeling slowly went away. Its still there especially the muscle weakness.
BUt I've been doing more extensive research on the Licorice and found out that it can lead to low potassium levels which can cause this:
(It also does something with a certain hormone, ''aldosteron'' or something like that)
Low potassium levels therefore lead to fluid inbalance and interruption of nerve transmission. The end results of licorice overdose are high blood pressure, muscle cramping, muscle pain, muscle weakness, heart arrhythmias, constipation, impaired breathing, and even paralysis and heart failure. If caught in time, taking potassium supplements and avoiding licorice can quickly return the body to healthy functioning.
I've been looking t other websites as well where they spoke about lehtargical feelings, which I had.
The days I spoke about when I was very tired I could barely carry a plate off food with my arms...(muscle weakness) So this must have been happening to me... The past days I ate well and I slept like a rose and I feel much better already.. Still having muscle weakness though butmuch less worse.
As I'm trying to gain weight and beeing healthy I knew It couldnt been low iron or not enough carbs! BUt thanks everybody for thinking along with me!
** BTW in the beginning of my thread I spoke about the spearmint made me calm, BUT I was also taking LIcorice Root and this was causing me this extreme calmness/relaxed feeling, Which went worse and worse in time.. And then leaded to this explosion off tiredness, and I indeed almost felt paralyzed. I mean damn, that I didnt noticed that..SCary. But the signals were there.. Happy I know it now.
