Pre workout crash days after use?

Hi folks.

On the weekend their I had been sent a couple samples of a pre workout. I had stopped pre workouts over a year ago due to it just causing anxiety etc.

I trained Saturday/Sunday and I thought let's give these samples a go. It's a powerful pre workout. Kigelia Africana etc in the ingredients.

I had 2 very good workouts. Very focused and just felt good.

The following day (Monday) I felt so drained and hellish. I felt completely exhausted and slightly anxious. I battled through my work yesterday. On my lunch break I went and slept in my car. I got home slept then woke up done dinner and went back to bed. This morning I feel a little better but I still feel very drained and slightly depressed/low mood. I've been sleeping fine etc

What's happened? Has the pre workout just messed up my brain chemistry? Feels like low dopamine. Be glad once i perk up. I still have slight anxiety. My body just doesn't do well with pre workouts. I won't touch them again. Those 2 good workouts aren't worth this hellish feeling.

It almost feels like my adrenals are shot as well. I'm sooooo lethargic.

Anyone else suffer this? Anything that may help? I will have to take time off the gym until I get back to normal. Kinda hoping it's sooner rather than later.

Thanks
 
I wouldn't think it's related. More likely coincidence. I've never heard of someone crashing that far after use. It's likely been long out and something else is causing the problem. Also, sometimes I just have a day where I feel like I hit the wall and it's time to relax a little. the feeling is similar to a crash
 
When I do take a pre workout stim I have found that I’m pretty drained the next day. It’s not the preworkout itself. I find I push much harder and it’s the workout that has me beat up because of the pre workout. So yeah I can relate to this, just gotta push through the following day, recover and get back to it.

I used this pre before and felt deathly for days then. I also just thought I had a bug then. Their must be an ingredient in their that my body just hates :(

Shame as it works great but feeling hellish isn't worth it.

Even just now I'm in bed feeling pretty miserable. I've not felt so fatigued for a while. My job has been a tough last couple days :(

I'd ditch it, I've had a couple pres do something similar to me but it was years ago. Funny enough all of them ended up having banned substances in them.

I've pretty much abandoned pre workout supps unless I'm really dragging ass or just want to be extra that day. I'm talking like 2-3x per month.

One day I really realized that I'm just trying harder because I feel like the pre-workout made me. But it's in my head. I can push it to the limit with or without it
