Its not necessarily about using megadoses of vitamin C / magnesium. Vitamin C directly antagonizes the release of cortisol which is a stress hormone which tends to lead to higher adrenaline output.
It it my understandings that these two nutrients are lost during stress. As a result, the stressed brain is less capable of dealing with stressors and hence gets stuck in a vicious loop.
If I take magnesium chronically, it makes me depressed. However, if I take lower doses before, or during stresful events, I find myself having a faster rebound.
