Acetyl L Carnitine gave me anxiety, depressive symptoms

Hi everyone,

Don't know if you ever get these reactions but whenever I take Q10 and Acetyl L Carnitine I get a tight chest but on top of that the Acetyl L Carnitine gave me a pre- panic attack like feeling. I took 2 x 500 mg yesterday and felt like crap and had to sleep it off and even today my brain doesn't feel top notch.

I've been told these 'fat burner's/ metabolizer type supplements are almost like simple variations of speed. I've taken ritalin and although I get tightness in the chest this Lcarnitine stuff is intense!

Anybody get the same thing?

    Why in the name of heaven and earth would you ever take anything that would cause panic, anxiety and depression. As someone who suffers from panic and anxiety, I do everything possible never to have an attact. Something that causes this cannot be good at all.
