(Apologies for formatting, I'm on mobile) TIFU by trying a new supplement, Theobromine, a chemical found in cacao responsible for mild stimulation and a "warm" feeling. I thought, well, I've had this chemical countless times in my life before, and could use a slight pickup before work. Boy was I wrong. About an hour into work I get violently nauseas with a splitting headache, I'm sweating and feel almost drunk. I tell my boss I have a migraine and need to go home (I do have chronic migraines, and have had to go home before because of one of the worse ones), and spend the next 45 minutes in a Hardee's bathroom keeled over the toilet waiting for my brother to pick me up since I am in NO state to drive. He comes to get me and I endure one of the most uncomfortable car rides home of my life, and promptly spend the next 20 hours lying in bed nauseas, sweating, in and out of sleep with a god-awful headache and end up having to call out of work the next day as well. Threw the rest out and probably just sticking to caffeine for now.

TL:DR: Tried a new supplement before work and became violently ill for 24hrs. Could potentially be some sort of dog-man.
