KOREAN GINSENG Trouble sleeping is the most common side effect. Less common effects include headache, agitation, upset stomach, menstrual problems (e.g., unusual vaginal bleeding), breast pain, and dizziness. An increase or decrease in blood pressure may also occur. Siberian ginseng may also cause drowsiness, nervousness, or mood changes. If any of these effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

TAURINE Although research is ongoing, some potential taurine side effects include blood thinning, changes to heart rate or rhythm and extremely low blood sugar. Experts can point to at least two instances where it might have triggered mania and brain damage, although they can’t say for sure whether it was the culprit. Digestive problems and dehydration also might be a result of excess, and it can interact with drugs, particularly lithium. Doctors usually recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women not take this substance as a supplement, just to be safe, as there isn’t enough research to show how it could affect an unborn baby or infant.

Wait? You mean you don't have to put up with side effects of things you put in your body?

I though diarrhorea and vomiting were totally acceptable.... that if you are really depressed/insomniac you WILL put up with it otherwise you are "not really ill".

Take your stupid fights elsewhere. Sick of it.
