“Feeling sick after taking a supplement?”
I am on no medications. I started taking a vitamin supplement that is high in amino acids. Then I started feeling a little high strung.

OK, that happens with some amino acids. It sounds uncomfortable, so before you get too used to it & start "having to have it to get through the day"
reducing that supplement by half would be the first step, immediately stopping that supplement if you still felt 'energized'. The AA supplements can be very strong. If you let it wash out of your system, and take a copy of the label to your next doctor visit, you may obtain more feedback on the safety for you personally, and if to consider any further dosing of the supplement.

Supplements are highly unregulated. So it really depends what vitamin supplement you're taking.
