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…

Are you sure that it was just diphenhydramine? people (who must be masochists) take well over 400mg recreationally and are fine. there would definately be no euphoria. a weird detachment, crazy look in his eyes, and a wacked out memory sound right, but DEFINATELY not seizures. i have known people that have taken 1100mg of benadryl and were fine.

Everyone is different. A half dozen people have reported similar events with CH "pyritinol." However, only one person had seizures. A couple hallucinated, and one passed out after feeling sick. There are reports of people seizing off doses as low as 300mg. It just depends on the person.
Also, diphenhydramine inhibits the uptake of serotonin in high doses. This can cause euphoria.
