Cerebral Health Pyritinol Test Results (WARNING)

Many of you may remember the issue that came up with Cerebral Health/Bioscience Nutraceuticals a few months ago, where their choline bitartrate was numbing people's mouths. After sending those samples in to the lab, the tests came back negative for choline bitartrate. We suspected it was choline salacylate, but decided further testing to ascertain the exact compound would not be worth the cost. Unfortunately that was not the last issue to come from Cerebral Health.
A few weeks ago, another Redditor placed an order pyritinol from CH, along with some alpha GPC and oxiracetam. When the order arrived, both the alpha GPC and oxiracetam seemed alright. However, the pyritinol seemed off. Before thinking about it, he took his normal 400mg dose of pyritinol and went out for a mountain bike ride. Within 15-20 minutes he was getting a weird euphoria and detachment. After another couple minutes, his memory gets very fuzzy.
Eventually his sister found him in the garage in a manic/psychotic state. He was biting his lips very hard, shaking, and holding his fists tight. Eventually he went into seizures when the paramedics came. He was taken to the hospital and seized again while waiting for th…

One other possibility that hadn't occurred to me at first, but may very well be the best fit: an anticholinergic (many possibilities) - or anticholinergic DRI like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzatropine, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trihexyphenidyl, etc.
Matches very well with "prodigious thirst", "crazily dry mouth", "hyperthermia", "piss was red hot". Anticholinergics can cause stimulation / detachment / euphoria in low doses, and tachycardia / hallucinations / psychotic state, lowered seizure threshold at higher doses, with aftereffects for a few days. It would be a stronger case if the effects included prolonged mydriasis (=crazy looking eyes?) and blurry vision.

Keep in mind that the post 11 months ago was a different batch. I have spoken to both Redditors about it, and the expiration dates on the bags are different. So they might not even be the same substances.
Also, I have since spoken to another person that had a bad reaction to CH pyritinol 7 months ago. He described his as similar to a high dose DXM trip. It's entirely possible that CH sent out multiple different psychoactive substances labeled as pyritinol.
