Brief Answer:
This is a possibility!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you have reported. The big jump in the dosage of your medication from 150 to 20mg suggests that something was actually interfering with the absorption of this drug. This seems likely and I will like to see you switch over and not take these products around the same time.

The solution is not getting off pre workout. Stop taking the products around the same time. Go on and take the medication like a few hours after the workout supplement or the other way around.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
