Summary
They started something in September 2023 and within a week had headaches, brain fog, dizziness and nausea, which they suspected was a bad interaction with aspirin or lamotrigine; three days after stopping they felt only a little better. In February 2025, after almost three weeks of NADH, they reported more physical energy but more brain fog and sore, tired muscles.
