I'm a 50 year old male, in decent shape, slightly elevated cholesterol but no other major health issues, rarely drink, no recreational drug use. I recently became interested in Nootropics to combat anxiety, stress, and fatigue. Being a Lawyer I need every edge I can get in the day to day. So I read the Nootropic Blogs, watched dozens of videos and read hundreds of pages on this Reddit Feed. Having done the research I started taking the following (all of which I bought at Nootropics Depot). My first week I started taking Lion's Mane then introduced each Noot 1 by 1 every couple of days, then finally taking the following Stack over 3 weeks:
Lions Mane 500 mg - 1x/dayCDP Citicholine 250 mg - 1x/dayL-Theanine 200mg - 1x/dayRhodolea Rosea 500mg - 1x/dayOxiracetam 750mg - 1x/dayNoopept 10mg (caused brain fog after 3 days / discontinued)Fish Oil (daily)L-Tyrosine 500mg (caused brain fog after 2 days / discontinued)
At around the 3 week mark, I developed pain and burning on my lower right side/flank which radiated into my back, and my belly and side became swollen. Found myself urinating every hour. Went to my Doc right away. He did blood work which showed increase liver enzymes. He the…

That is the simplest and most reasonable explanation and the absence of subsequent thread activity almost confirms it for me that OP was disingenuous and had a bad motive for making this thread.
Fully agree, in fact, I was contemplating whether write a diatribe on alcohol and APAP myself upon initial thread response. To add, assuming OP is honest, COVID-19 can elevate LPT enzymes too and it wouldn't surprise me if the vaccines can have that effect in a small percentage of individuals. Most in his age demographic that I know have received the vaccine within the past month or two.

There are so many damn side effects to getting COVID-19, it's insane how people are brushing it off. "Ohh, I won't die. I am young." Sure, maybe you won't die. However, you might have lingering health issues the rest of your fucking life from it. No big deal, though. I guess debilitating life-long issues are worth not wearing a mask and keeping your distance for a while... Even people in my own family have been dumb with it. I've had to smack some sense into a lot of them over it.
Also, most Americans are just plain unhealthy in general. That's an unfortunate fact. They eat like shit. They eat too often. They eat too much. They drink too much. They don't get exercise. They get over-stressed. Then they get put on prescriptions that the fucking doctor doesn't even really understand the pharmacodynamics of, nor does he/she have time to even research. Then they get side effects and are put on other prescriptions to address those side effects, when the root cause of the issues never even gets addressed. Patients just take what their doctor tells them without any individual research of their own on what it does, why it should be taken, how it affects their body, etc. Then you have people going the opposite direction, saying doctors are not needed, and natural cleanses or essential oils are all anyone needs. Both extremes are insane. If people understood how their body worked better, they might treat lifestyle changes more seriously. Even most doctors I have met in the US are unhealthy! It's like I am taking crazy pills!!! Then people won't even go to the doctor because it costs too much, so they just live with issues till they get bad enough to force them to do something. By that point the damage has been done, and they have to play catch-up for something that they could have prevented by addressing it early enough.
Anyway, now I am just ranting about the state of health in the US in general. LOL
