Summary
They described strange symptoms that began while taking ADHD medication: a suffocating, out-of-breath feeling and tingling; they took MCT oil to help them think more clearly, and the tingling went away. At the time of writing they were on day four of C8 MCT oil, 3 tablespoons up to three times a day, combined with intermittent fasting, and said the oil helped them transition to IF easily.
