Summary
MitoQ caused severe insomnia in this ME/CFS patient (diagnosed at OMI) after a single 10mg dose, and moderate-to-severe insomnia again when a lower 5mg dose was tried separately. No fatigue or functional benefit is reported from either trial. The person tolerates regular Ubiquinol 200mg daily without any sleep problems, suggesting the reaction was specific to MitoQ. No further MitoQ dosing was attempted after the second bad reaction.
