I just bought l carnitine capsules for my severe anhedonia. Just read on the internet about a study showing that oral administration of l carnitine is similar to placebo.
Do you have any experience with taking l carnitine orally?
From webmd.com
When taken by mouth: L-carnitine is LIKELY SAFE when taken for up to 12 months. It can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, heartburn, diarrhea, and seizures. It can also cause the urine, breath, and sweat to have a “fishy” odor. Avoid using D-carnitine and DL-carnitine. These forms of carnitine might block the effects of L-carnitine and cause symptoms that resemble L-carnitine deficiency
