So, could the Stack (Chromium/Taurine/Niacin/Kelp) have interacted with the Lamictal in anyway as well.
I was on 200mg of Lamictal at the time, the only medication I was taking. Like Taurine, Lamictal reduces Glutamate.
As the Health Food Store ladies were telling me in a stern voice, the Chromium 'did' cause me hypoglycemia by lowering my blood sugar way too much as demonstrated by excess severe hunger. They told me that I probably was taking too much. But. even at 200mcg, I still had problems. I tried it by itself temporarily after I stopped the "Stack".
I used the GTF-form Chromium caps. same hypoglycemic reaction. I brought them back for refund. So, Chromium presumbably probably did play biggest role in reaction. Don't know how Kelp/Taurine/Niacin parts of stack effected me, though, but they could have adversely affected me in some way esp if Kelp had glutamates. Glutamate is EVIL for depression I heard.
As I said, each component of the Stack played certain roles:
Chromium - regulate glucose
Taurine - Keeps muscle cells filled out and volumized
Niacin - Synergized with Chromium
Kelp - enhance thyroid functionIt seemed like it would have helped me lose more fat/weight, but I reacted oppositely it seemed like!!!
It was body-building oriented sites that I read about the Stack from. They are scammers afterall.
