Does anybody else besides me feel like shit while on ALA (either one)?

[Lumberg]

I feel less energetic, listless, tired, and have an overall sick feeling when I am on either type of ALA. This is when I am taking it with every meal.

Of course the effects are worst about 45 min. after a meal. I assume this is due to low blood sugar but DAMN. It's annoying.

Take it at night.

What I do is:

1. r-ala:600mg spread out throughout the day.

2. Racemic: 1200mg at 11 or so PM.

At 12 PM you'll be dead tired.

Right now I do 200mg R-ALA before every meal and I eat about 5 times a day.

On racemic I was on about 4g/day.
I miss the odd meal. Probably my subconscious saying noooooo.

And I definitely take it at night and it does help me sleep.
