24 hour hospitalization after taking Ceretropic's Hidrafinil--elevated Troponin levels

Original post in this thread

Two days ago I took 100milligrams of Hydrafinil around 11am. This was the fourth time I took it, the other times didn't seem to cause man problems other than tiredness. By 10pm I started feeling quite fatigued and weak, with headache and muscle ache--general malaise. By midnight, after going to bed, I started having hot and cold flashes and elevated heart beat (around 100beatsmin) which was accompanied by angina. I slept for twelve hours off and on and my heart rate never went back down so I went to the ER. Blood tests showed elevated Troponin at 0.9 and I was committed for observation during the night with a beta-blocker. Heart rate didn't return to normal sup 80s level until about 7am today--so 42 hours after dosage. My Troponin went down to around 0.4, but any detectable positive quantity indicates possible heart damage. My Echo looked good so nothing major happened it seemed.

I also took along with the Hydrafinil: around 300-400mg of caffeine, 400mg theanine, 15mg Vinpocetine, doses of bacopa, Rhodiola, and Ashwagandha.

I think it is ridiculous that people are insisting on proof. This might discourage people with bad experiences from posting. I rather protect the consumer than the businesses.

The nootropics.co.uk hospital post has now been proven to be a fraud. I have confirmed all testing of theirs with Colmeric, never received the sample to test from the OP, never received any of the requested proof of the incident, and the OP stopped responding to everyone once the sale of the business had gone through. The OP was lying about the incident, to try and devalue the company before it was sold off. The worst part is that I believed him, and allowed him to defraud the community!

You do not want some policy in place to protect everyone from being lied to on the forum? You just want it to be open season for anyone to make any claim they want, with throwaway accounts? This is literally irrelevant to me, because I have agreed to exclude myself from these rules, to prevent claims of bias. So it is free reign on Ceretropic now. But do you not want to have some policy to ensure we are not being constantly lied to?
