I have used charcoal and psyllium poultices extensively. When you say you put it over your right side, do you mean the liver? My suggestion is that you try it again, but do it at bedtime so you go to sleep. That way you don't feel the weirdness. If you are feeling weirdness, that is an indication that it is in fact pulling out toxins. Charcoal and psyllium is perfectly safe to use. You cannot detox to fast using it. Just don't leave it on longer than 8 hours. Since it is clearly pulling stuff out, I would probably make that 6 hours. The charcoal can get "filled up" with toxins at which point you need to remove, or remove and replace with a new poultice. Don't EVER re-use a charcoal poultice.
