I started aceytl l-carnitine (I hope I'm spelling that correctly) today, and WOW - I am already feeling the effects. Could just be a coincidence, but I feel incredibly alert and energized mentally. In fact, I'm almost TOO alert, and I'm worried that I'll overdo things because I feel so great. I still have some aches and pains, but my mind feels very sharp.
Assuming this keeps up, are there any bad side effects that you guys have experienced? I feel almost like I'm on Adderall or something (I might have spelled that wrong, too). I'm worried that I'll crash and end up feeling worse, if that makes sense. Also, should I maybe be taking this super early in the day? I have a feeling that a late afternoon dose might not have been the best idea.

Unless you are carnitine deficient, your alertness is not supported as a result of taking ALCAR. But, if you are feeling better, keep it up.

Hi there
I took it for about a year. I am just going off it because I don't know if I need it anymore, and I am also going off phosphatiydle serine (CAn't spell it) I don't know if I feel any big effects in leaving these, but am having a very tired day today. If it seems to help, then keep it up. All for now poetrymom

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013. Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines, Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something. Therapy I had: vestibular 3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling. 9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms. I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery. Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired. |
