Watch for: mood changes, sleep disturbances, digestive upset, headache, dizziness, or changes in how your medication normally feels. When to seek emergency help: Severe confusion, rapid heartbeat, muscle rigidity, high fever, seizures, or signs of allergic reaction. Start amino acid supplements at low doses and increase gradually.
