Side effects of thiamine HCL
Has anyone experienced following side effects of thiamine hcl. As per medicinenet.com:
"A very serious allergic reaction to this vitamin is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing."
Source : medicinenet.com/thiamine-or...
I have been taking 3 grams per day for two weeks and have not experienced any of those side effects.
Every medication site has these same warnings for everything you look up. The symptoms listed are a description of an anaphylactic allergy reaction, which can potentially occur as a reaction to ANYTHING, whether it's antibiotics, bee stings, or food, as in my case, mangoes. It's even listed as a warning for colace, a simple over-the-counter stool softner. These on-line sites list it as a warning for everything to protect themselves from law suits.
Taking 3-4 gms since March and no reactions...yet !
No reaction but do you have any improvement with symptoms?
So far helps me with aches/pains, anxiousness, and balance.
I am glad to hear that all the best.
oh, and shoulder rigidity, but still waiting for marked increase in energy ...my BMI is borderline anyway.
On the thiamine FAQ page, Dr. Costantini says he has seen patients get a rash from thiamine, but it is very rare. Look at question # 21 at this link :

Trying to find "actual cases" of thiamine adverse events on the web is not going to be very fruitful.

The adverse event that is most assured is the progression and ravages of Parkinson's when choosing not to take thiamin HCI
Roy do you know if people take it for atypical Parkinsons too or does it mainly work for typical? My husband has atypical and I am not sure which type as he hasn't seen the specialist yet and can't until July. It looks from my research that atypical is more the dopamine receptors being damaged rather than the dopamine being insufficient so I am not sure whether it would still work. I have emailed Dr C and just waiting to hear back.
I started on May 24, 18 and one day, after taking 2g/day and 100mg/day and folic acid for 3 days (I added Folic acid per Dr. C recommendation) I had high palpitations and I was very agitated. i stopped folic acid (per dr. C request again) completely and thiamine for 3 days and resumed in 1-1.5g doses and no more trouble. In the last email he told me to take only B1 and D3, no other vitamins or suplements.
I tried thiamine twice but both times after a couple of days I felt very weak. Which possibly meant my blood pressure was low.

This warning is given in some form on EVERY drug. It is standard as there is always potential for one person to be allergic to some component. It is about people with allergies not about drug side effects.
I notice the wording has been careful to say allergic reaction. It does not say side effect.

My blood pressure gets very high after using thiamine. 212 / 120 plus or minus is what it got up to. I have tried it more than one time so I am sure that is the it is the cause. Other kinds of thiamine do it too
parkie13,
This abstract looks like thiamine could potentially have the opposite effect?

About a month or two months ago somebody send me an article that said that thiamine does raise blood pressure. I cannot find it again. I really would like to take it and I do take a pill once in awhile.
Why don't you ask Dr. Costantini if he has run into this problem and if he has a work around for it?

Art, thanks. I did send a quick email to the doctor and I got a response back right away. He said to go down to 1000 mg per day. I am still taking 500 mg per day, have not started a thousand yet again. Mary
parkie13,
Please keep us posted on how it goes!

What kind of dosage have you tried with the thiamine? I’m suffering with high BP as well which started about the same time when I started lower dosing of the Thiamine. I’m doing self test and stopping it for a week to see if my BP is lower. Any confirmation that it is medically proven to be a documented side effect of Thiamine use?
I got as high as 3000 mg. And then my blood pressure went up even after stopping and stayed up for a while. now I take 500 mg once in awhile.
Noticing my blood pressure is somewhat elevated. Used to always be under 120/80, but the other day it was 145/87. This morning reading 127/76. Do not know why the variation. I am taking 2 g of thiamine twice a day and getting good results so disinclined to change. If I continue to get high readings I suppose I can try backing off on thiamine.
whats a good brand to take?
