Are you referring to serotonin overdose? I've had that. It's a fascinating experience, but I've never heard of TM or TM-SIdhis practice causing the symptoms I observed: unable to drink even a 1/2 class of water from a tall tumbler because my had shook so much that all the water spilled out before it reached my lips. Unable to type without dozens of mistakes because my fingers were shaking uncontrollably. Drawing a straight line with a pencil was truly interesting --the basic shape was straight, but there was a waviness to the line that was about 1mm high and 1mm long. Fine motor control is non-existent because the serotonin is interfering with muscle feedback. Your mind-body gets into a feedback loop where you over/under compensate motion non-stop. L.
