Siezures and supplements

Mattm223 · 10-18-2009, 09:56 PM

I have had seizures since I was 18, and I am now 32. I recently started taking Leukic and Gakic in a stack along with my normal aminos, Creakic, and occasional dose of Lipo-6, and daily protien. My diet is pretty clean, lots of water, and I work out 4 to 5 times a week depending on injuries.

The recent dose of Gakic and Leukic cause a seizure the next day. Previous use of the same product resulted in light headedness and passing out at the gym.

Any others have similar problems or in my same situation. My seizures are usually only when I sleep and I don't want to change that due to my supplements. The doc looked at the bottles, but they don't list much due to muscletech's secret formulas.

Thanks,

Matt

stop using them immediately. if something causes you to have a seizure... well ha dont do it. alot of supplements are overrated anyway, alot of muscletech sh*t is based on bogus studies anyway. stick to the bcaas, protein, and a good diet. the proven and safe stuff

What was the cause of your seizures in the past?

My original post here was evidence that I am either lacking in tact or a total douchebag.

I have learned my lesson and now I feel shame.

sorry to hear about your condition, it must be very frustrating to deal with, i would say that many of the designer supplements my have so many different ingredients that it would be almost impossible to pin point what is causing the seizures to occur,
i would recommend that if your going to invest in supplements that you purchase them in a stand alone form, such as creatine mono, BCAA`s, whey protein, this way you can add or subtract any of the supplements out of your diet if your having issues with them,

I would completely discontinue the usage of these certain supplements and try different alternatives. Sorry to hear that happened bro. Better to be on the safe side I cut out that stuff for good.

The best choice here is to listen to your doctor. Nobody on this board has a medical license and can accurately comment on your situation.

I have stopped taking all supplements since this happened. The doctors don't have much to say other than stop taking the supps and keep taking your meds. When it comes to your brain they aren't very helpful until they get the chance to cut you open.

I was just hoping someone else might have had a similar experience. There has to be someone with a seizure disorder that likes to work out out there.

I do not have a similar experience, however seizures are soooo tough to find all the triggers for, that you are better off just stopping the supps that triggered a seizure, and not take any of the more "exotic" ones again. MD's are still scratching the surface of the brain in general, and while they have a working understanding of seizure activity, they themselves do not yet have all the answers, so as always they will recommend the safer route, stopping those supps that triggered an episode and staying on your meds. Which by the way is what I would recommend you do as well.

I haven't heard anything good about muscletech, and agree with those that stated a basic whey protein, bcaa's, and the such are perfectly fine to use and should be your supps of choice in the future.
