Energy level is way up. However, experiencing severe mood swings, which aren't normal for me. Not PMS time for me either.

Have you tried one of those Emergen-c packets? One of those mixed in water will also serve a dual purpose--nutrients and drinking more water. You could drink it over a couple of hours and see how your stomach feels.
One packet won't meet all your RDAs, but they do have high amounts of Vit B6 & B12. So I don't think I'd take more than one packet a day, though, because of the high Vit Bs. I esp like the Calcium & Vit D one. I drink it while exercising at the gym.
