Okay, I'm going to share my stupdity so that hopefully others don't have to experience this.....
Always read the ENTIRE label BEFORE taking ANY other supplement. I've been taking Hydroxycut (not the full dose -- 3caps 3x a day is a little much for me). Well today I had a killer headache so I popped a couple of aspirin. NO NO NO! As soon as I did I thought to myself, hey, I wonder if this is ok...... guess what? It's not. Now I'm lightheaded and nauseas. It's not too terrible, so I know it will pass. But as a heads up to everyone else out there, please be careful if you are taking any supplements and read the labels before putting anything else into your body. Trust me, feeling this icky is not happy! Besides, you never know when it will be much worse than some nausea.

I have to thank you for this post. I took my glutamine this morning and my back was hurting so I thought I would take a few ibuprofins, remembered this post and read the labels. There were no issues, but thanks to you, I would have prevented bad things from happening if there were to be adverse reactions.
