Here is my situation:
For the last 4 days (not including today) I consumed 8 whole eggs without taking any other choline supplements. I began to experience symptoms of high acetylcholine such as inability to experience pleasure and problems with complex thinking.
So as a result I searched for way to lower my acetylcholine and read that the "racetams" use up acetylcholine thus lower the acetylcholine elvels.
Today, I did not eat any eggs but consumed 3grams of piracetam to use up my acetylcholine levels. Well, about 3 hours after my dosage I broke out in SEVERE sweat, felt somewhat sick and needed to lie down. I was literally drenched in sweat. My diet for today was cereal and whole milk.
I have used piracetam + choline bitartrate before with good results. This time I took piracetam by itself, and this happened.

The only thing I found on the internet was this:

which shows that acetylcholine is used as a messenger in producing sweat.
Does anybody have any insight to why this happened?
Also can anyone give me some insight as to what foods may be used to lower acetylcholine, and also which nootropics lower acetylcholine? I am primarily interested in using foods, and supplements come second.

Many nootropic supplements seem to trigger copious perspiration during even slightly increased activity for me. This definitely wasn't the case before I started my life extension experiments. But now, my metabolism has been jumpstarted from other things, such as exercise, diet, coconut oil, outdoor activities, etc. So maybe the nootropics are enhancing my metabolism which had already been increased. I don't really notice any correlation with lower acetycholine levels. When the sweating becomes problematic, I usually decrease my doses of coconut oil, nootropics, and increase my level of physical activity.

I suspect some sort of mechanism where my body is trying to (perhaps successfuly) chelate metals.

I believe it is a result of increased blood pressure/heart beats per minute. I get a similar effect on Adderall or similar stimulants. Messes up all my shirts so I tend to stay away from them.
