Maca side effects

I'm sure I had this before and stopped.

I recently bought some maca chocolate powder in waitrose. All week I've felt rubbish when I have woken up, really exhausted, had headaches. I stopped it a couple of days ago and woke up this morning feeling...just better. It was honestly at a point where I thought maybe I have a terminal illness! I don't know if it was the maca, there's definitely some side effects when I look it up, plus I'm on other meds - immune suppressants and antidepressants.

Anyone had side effects from it?

Interesting, according to Google it does the opposite to what my immune suppressant does, so working in the other direction to what the immune suppressant is meant to do.

I suspect that's probably why I've felt so awful. I will stick to plain cacao !
