Hi All,

I have just one more thing to add.

Some months back when I had severe neuralgia (it has decreased a lot now),my neuro had prescribed me L Carnitine 500 mg for 20 days.

I can tell you my experience about this drug. I used to walk 4 kms and get extremely tired. For the 20 days when I took L carnitine, I felt as if I have just started walking after 4 kms. In those 20 days,I sometimes walked 7-8 kms and still as fresh as ever.

I had decreased 4 kgs in 20 days without any diet restrictions. When I stopped the drug,I again gained weight (keeping the diet the same). There was not an iota of exhaustion when I took this for 20 days. I felt extremely energetic as if I could run for hours though I was obese. If you want to run a marathon,take L carnitine for 2-3 days and you can complete it easily. In those 20 days,I felt as if I could complete a 42 km marathon easily. This is my personal experience.

Later on,I did a lot of research on it. googled for L Carnitine,it is used mostly by Body builders and athletes in doses of 2-3 prams per day. I read there have been reports of atherosclerosis (plaque build up in arteries) in people who took large doses and for long time.

So I fear taking this drug but let me tell you ,it is a wonder drug - This drug will pour in mountains of energy in your body. You can do severe physical work endlessly when on this drug without getting tired.
