I had the opposite result - keto gave me horrible mood swings, zero energy, and made my anxiety 2x worse. I was eating an appropriate amount of calories in nutrient-dense food, and used the sticks to confirm I was in ketosis. Lasted 3 months before I finally gave up on it.
Interesting, what were your ketone levels? We’re you using the blood testing strips?
How about your electrolyte intake? Your symptoms sound like “keto flu” which is related to lower electrolyte levels. Which is why many keto prescribing doctos recommend 1g of salt in the morning, and afternoon when doing keto
