      @Sugar Yeah. And if I really had to knock myself out I'd use cypro instead.

        @pilky haven't played around with anything like cypro, not sure how my body would react.

          @Sugar During the summer theanine gave me derealisation and severe constipation for months that is only now resolving.
          Vitamin k2 mk-7 gives me intrusive thoughts but it still was able to patch up some mild cavities I had.
          Vitamin d3 gives me anxiety, even though I have previously been able to tolerate it.
          Glycine combined with taurine at night gave me sleep paralysis.

            Taking cypro and 10-meo-harmalan within days of each other will lead to very violent dreams. Not pleasant

              Years ago I took a 2-5 milligram dose of K2-MK7 and had a severe histamine reaction. Palpitations, swelling, anxiety, sweating, etc. Never took MK7 again but MK4 gives me no issues. It could have been excipient related.

                  @Sugar Chantix made me pre-psychotic, very weird dreams, lots of paranoia. Fortunately it cleared up pretty quickly when I quit using it

                      Curious, how did each of those affect you? I'm currently on most of that.

                        Some of these reactions could be related to contamination during the supplement manufacturing process.

                        None have ruined my health, but I took an Acetylcholine supplement that made me feel really dialed in and then that progressed to anxiety and very racey like I wanted to jump out of my own skin, along with weird sensations in my head. On the bright side, I was recovering from a TBI and it did give me sustained energy and the ability to do normal things that very same day.

                        Also around that same time I took a supplement that had lemon balm, GABA, and theanine in it. Felt like I took a Xanax, all baseline anxiety washed away and intrusive thoughts quieted (I have OCD). Within an hour after that it was like my body swung in the opposite direction and I felt decently anxious. Having said that, when I started feeling so good, I was googling why, and ended up on some subreddit where all these ppl were talking about horrible experiences with GABA so maybe that's what gave me the anxiety. Have been nervous to try again.

                        OCD can be because of too much glutamate, not enough GABA, having said that, GABA supplements aren't supposed to cross the blood brain barrier, although I heard it can if you have leaky gut (which I think I do). Been really curious to try it again but equally parts nervous

                          It didn't ruin my health but taking zinc made my hair start going white the last few times I reintroduced it. I read some literature that showed even 15mg supplemental zinc can induce a copper deficiency. The problem reversed itself after I stopped taking it and ate some liver and potatoes for a week or two.

                            @coffee MK4 + D3 from Thorne feels good, but the MK7 was from Life Extension, and I've been hesitant to use their brand ever since. Pretty sure it's low quality.

                              When I was taking fish oil pretty heavily, I was passing so much in my urine it stank of fish and always came out cloudy

                              Even low dose DHEA gives me acne but taken with Progest-E + orange juice (for naringenin) it's still beneficial on balance

                                D-aspartic acid. I felt like I was dying for weeks.

                                  You will find for every each supplement existing people that will tell you "it made me live again" and "it ruined my life". Depends on why you are taking it, if you need it or not, when are you taking it, and probably what are the other factors around. I remember feeling extremly bad after taking Emodin for the first time, vomiting, headache, anxiety and almost panic attack. Right now it makes me warm, feel great and relief sensation. Cypro used to make me feel lke a zombie at 1 mg now it's the perfect tool for me to have a good post stressful day and hard work. Aspirin used to provoke stomach contraction and pain, now it's amazing for occasional headaches. Not to speak about bad supplements and impurity. If you take magnesium powder and you tell me "magnesium is making me sick" I'll tell you : No magnesium is supposed to make you sick, just change brand or fix your other issues.

                                      @LinDaiyu same, the only effect I notice is feeling groggy the next day.

                                        Antibiotics (amoxicillin to be exact) gave me indigestion and made me lactose intolerant, though it all got fixed at the end.

                                          Agmatine is great but it gives me herpes on my face.

                                            @Harlock Pretty much sums it up; you have to try for yourself and be diligent about journaling your experiences. Also I can't stress enough only trying one supplement or diet change at a time otherwise you'll confound the variables and it will be lost time and energy.
