Chocolate and bad mood

I'm trying to find people who react to chocolate the way I do - rage, paranoia, depression, irritability. It lasts maybe a few days. I can't even eat a candy bar without getting this reaction. I don't know what chemical causes this - I know it's not caffeine, since coffee doesn't do that to me. Theobromine, maybe, or phenylethylanine - both are present in chocolate.

I've also heard that chocolate can be a factor in bedwetting.

Any feedback? I would sure love some.

Like Els, I will be interested to see if anyone posts here since I have never heard of these reactions before. A thought on your situaton though, it doesnt have to be a chemical reaction. (Although I suspect it is) It could be that you have conditioned yourself (A bit like programming) without realising it. Could you eat chocolate as a child? Can you link chocolate to any bad experiences? Just as an example, there is an alcoholic drink in the UK (I dont know if it is in the US) called Aftershock. I never had any issues drinking it until one night I drank too much, got very drunk and had a RAGING hangover in the morning. Now, I cant even smell it without feeling sick.

P.S Have you considered factoring in SERETONIN on the chemical side? Its a hormone usually associated with pleasure and is lacking during depression. (Just some info in case you wanted to look it up!)
