Feeling Weird Sensations After Taking These Nootropics

[SQAAD]

I take large doses of korean ginseng and gingko biloba for the past 3 weeks.

Everything is in pill form and from a good brand (Lamberts).

I take 3 to 5 times more than what the manufacturer of the supplement recommends.

But not a lot more than the recommended dose of the actual substances themselves. Hope this makes sense.

For example bottle says to take one pill of gingko per day , even though the dose is only 120mg.

Anyways, i've been feeling weird sensations in my torso lately. Not anything too serious.

Mainly its sensations in the bottom part of my lungs and the liver area..

Chat gpt says it might be because of too much vessel dilation.

Idk. I lowered the dose now . Anyone has similar experiences?

Below i have links to all the ingredients of these supplements i am taking.

Why would you go so much over what the manufacturer recommends. 3-5x? A bit much.

Yeah, Lamberts have been acquired by MercGroup, who among other have an entire pharmaceutical division. This means Lambers products have actually very  high quality standards, almost pharmaceutical-grade. So their products are pure and effective. Overdosing on an adaptogen from a high quality retailer is much more dangerous than overdosing on a low-standard crap which lot of supplement brands are these days. 

So yeah, best not to do that. Get off it for a few days, then maybe consider just the Recommended dose 

Also Gingko can have both anticoagulative and hypotensive effects. When megadosed and combined with the other one, your blood pressure and heart rate might have dropped too low for a short time. That can lead to nausea and lightheadedness but it will reverse once the substance is detoxified by your liver & kidneys.

Because of tolerance.

I dont believe my blood pressure dropped too much.

Any idea what might be causing these weird sensations in my torso?

Update: Probably the sensations im feeling are not because of the supplements im taking.

Couldn't say. Maybe go off the supplements entirely for some time, see if it helps.
