Supplement side effects?


AHB900

Hey guys, I started myself on some new supplements (samE, inositol) I seem to get nauseous after I take it. It lasts for about half hour about 15-30 mins after I take it. Its really not that bad, like I can take it its not a problem its not like so bad where I have to throw up or anything I just feel a little sick. I was wondering is this dangerous should I stop? Im taking 200mg of samE (I cut my 400mg in half and I assume this makes it 200mg?) and 500mg of inositol). Its been few weeks with SamE I never felt sick with it untill I added the inositol (im assuming its from that or possibly from mixing them?)

 

My full supplement list is the following (just in case it matters)

 

1. Vitamin shoppe once a day multivitamin

2. Vitamin shoppe calcium citrate

3. Natural calm magnesium

4. Vitamin shoppe L-Carnitine

5. Solgar sam-e (400mg cut into half 200mg)

6. Solgar inositol (500mg)

 

I take everything in pill form except magnesium. Honestly I have not seen any improvements after adding sam-e or inositol. Is the effect suppose to be right away or should I give the inositol a few weeks before seeing results. Also I heard taurane is good for OCD would it be save to use taurane with inositol and sam-e? Also, what do you guys think about my supplement list good/bad?

 

Thanks everyone

Hi

thisis why I did suggest you talk to your doctor before combining any supps that increase serotonin

 

my son takes samE and Inositol together in that dose without problem BUT individuals react differently to the same supps

 

samE is taken on an empty stomach (30 min before eating) but the other supps, including inositol are usually taken with or after a meal

 

if you are taking all your supps on empty stomach that could cause nausea

 

also, abruptly reducing your samE by half that way may be a factor

 

if the nausea continues perhaps you should drop the inositol and see how you feel

 

one should allow 2 weeks for the effect of a supp to be felt

I usually take everything at once on an empty stomach.. I guess I should check out the labels and take them all the right way... I guess I can keep it up for another week or so then if I still feel weird ill drop the inositol and see what happens.. What are your thoughts on the supplement list I have for tourettic OCD? Also, what are your thoughts on taurane with the rest of the supplements I take?

 

Thanks

not a good idea to take especially the multi (with B's) on an empty stomach. only samE needs an empty tummy to be most effective. I think that may be why you had nausea...adding the inositol(which is a B vitamin) on an empty stomach

 

taurine is usually taken for tics, not OCD. many people find it greatly reduces tics

 

depending on how much you already get from your multi you may want to also add methyl B12 (NOT cyanocobalamin which is likely in the multi) as well as extra B6 (we prefer the P-5-P) form

 

are you taking omega 3? some people tolerate fishoil version but for some it increases tics (like for my son) we use flaxseed oil instead.

Thanks for the reply. I used to take fish oil, but I read so many bad threads about fishoil I kinda got scared and droped it. Im considering flax seed just to be on the safe side.. Chemar yesterday I took all my supplements the correct way and no nausea so I guess that was my fault..
