So I was staying with my parents for a bit and while there purchased a Solgar 1000mg ALCAR bottle. Before this I was taking around 500mg a day of ALCAR (for a month or two) with the very occasional piracetam use.
Anyway, I was on my 5 or 6th day of the 1000mg pills (just taking one in morning before breakfast) and about 15 -30 minutes after taking it i began to get very light headed. I noticed that my hands had lost a bit of feeling and were tingling/numb. I then got very dizzy and nauseous. I had to sit upright in bed for about an hour and a half trying to get everything under control. I had a bad headache and was on the verge of throwing up.
Has anyone had this strong of a reaction to ALCAR? The only thing I could thing of were other peoples experience of Choline Depletion headaches, but I thought ALCAR was supposed help generate choline.
Could this have been produce from too much choline? I'm very curious because I wasn't sure if I should run out and try and get some choline in my body, or if that would have made things worse.
Any Ideas?
edit: The only other thing I was taking was some fish oil.
