I have the same thing happen with any kind of supplement or med that increases the catecholamines...dopamine, norepinephrine. Must be some sort of weird protein thing, ammonia thing, or whatever. Impossible to describe that odor. It is definitely not a normal body odor.
I have found two things make it go away. Antibiotics such as Doxycycline. And antifungals such as Diflucan. Most of the antimicrobial herbs also. I guess someone could put two and two together and figure that the odor is excretions from unsuspected chronic infections, and that somehow the particular meds or supplements feed them the proteins they need to really thrive.
If that much odor is making its way through the skin, just imagine how much is circulating around inside your veins and brain. It's coming out your skin because there is so much of it.
I consider an odor like that to be a diagnostic clue. Whatever makes it go away is even a stronger diagnostic clue.
While it probably seems like the odor is coming from everywhere, and probably is, check to see if it is also from the armpits. Get some tea tree oil. With a cotton ball wipe in the armpits real good. It has a strange odor and will be weird. After about 15 minutes, take a shower and wash out the armpits. Some of the tea tree oil odor will still linger, but most of it gone. The next day, don't be surprised if the disgusting mysterious odor is completely gone from the armpits. If so, you know it is a chronic infrection hidden within. The kind that can cause all of the psychiatric symptoms we are trying to address.
Just thought you might find it interesting.
