Over the last week (interspersed with some small bumps that have induced re-injury) since I've had a concussion I've tried ALCAR and PC for neuroprotection, and both have induced some mood boost/borderline euphoria. They normally do not have this effect on me.
I know that ach is elevated and involved with secondary injury after TBI and that ALCAR and PC can both elevate brain ach levels.
I'm very anxious that this euphoria/mood boost means I've been increasing ACH neurotoxicty every time it happens. Is this fear warranted? Should I avoid these until out of the acute phase?
On the other hand, there's this study: https://pubmed.ncbi....h.gov/21228558/ which shows a neuroprotective effect of ALCAR in rats post TBI.
