I suppose - not sure - it could have depleted B2 & B3

You should know the difference between dietary and therapeutic doses.the idea that a basic vitamin found in hundreds of foods hat I already eat would reverse this is not realistic.
yes it may be!Can anyone let me know if this article may hold the key for what CDP Choline or Choline Bitartrate did to me?

I was probably mistaken. Choline might have actually created an increased need for both magnesium and glycine.@Gondwanaland why would it be prudent to avoid Magnesium Glycinate?
You don’t understand. I already had an emergency problem before. Medications and herbs would have a strength of 1,000x’s on me. This is not normal. Progressively this decreased due to my Choline usage which directly and progressively made me less& less sensitive until now where it’s the opposite. And yes, the root problem is the same in that my parasympathetic nervous system isn’t working right and isn’t regulating this signaling. However, I need to get more sensitive again. If nobody believes me or truly listens to what I’m saying, I will never be able to get help.The oral LD50 of choline for man is estimated to be 200-400g per some websites. Even taking 200g assuming someone didn't die there would still be no negative long term side effects. CDP choline is less than 40% choline, and choline bitartrate is 40%. CDP choline breaks down into plain choline, and other components in the GI tract so it is just an expensive way to get plain choline. Same with that other fancy form of choline. Choline chloride is 80% but that is not commonly sold. Whatever caused your problems it could not of been an essential nutrient. So how much choline did you take, and for how long?
Bakers or brewers yeast is one of the best food sources most of the b vitamins so could try that. And a eat a variety of fresh fruit each day.
I have a friend with POTS who has a SNP in a choline receptor and for this person, choline (at the right dose) does indeed help her POTS. But I doubt if that is generally the case--at least it is not true for me I'm afraid.There are a lot of studies showing choline cures POTS
