Just wondering if anyone else has found that depression and suicidal ideation are side effects of choline supplementation?
It's been difficult for me to nail this down as I've struggled with lifelong depression and suicidal ideation since childhood. As an adult, I've learned to manage and cope with these issues so that intensity and frequency are much reduced (after antidepressants failed to yield benefit). In the last few years, however, I've found that extremely intense depressive episodes seem to coincide almost perfectly with the use of supplemental choline. I first noticed this when using Alpha GPC but ultimately doubted that it was causal. Recently, I started using supplemental choline again (Phosphatidylcholine) and experienced an episode that's as powerful as any I've ever had. Since discontinuing use a few days ago, the symptoms have since subsided.
I've done some brief searching on a link between choline and suicidal ideation but not come up with much (I don't have much time these days).
Has anyone had similar experiences with choline?
