L-Carnitine causing fatigue

Messages

Simple one really. I started l-carnitine and that night I was hit with a fatigue I hadn't experienced since the early days of illness. The next few days were the same and so I stopped taking it to test if it was that and things have improved over the last few days.

Can it just do this or should I be taking something else with it to balance the effect out? I also take Q10 and some B vitamins but not a lot else.

Thank you.
