Truvia Good or Bad?

Last night I made a low carb cheesecake. The only new ingredient I had in it was Truvia, soon after I felt sluggish, I had a terrible nights sleep and this morning I'm still sluggish and have nausea. Just wondering has anyone had any problems with Truvia or am I just under the weather?
 
It could be - I don't use sweetener that often but was at one time using Atkins indulgence bars as treats now and then - I used to cut them into 4 and even a quarter of one made me feel really lousy - I felt just like I did befor diagnosis, once I worked out the connection I ditched them (full of rubbish stuff really anyway)
 
The only sugar substitutes that I get on with are xylitol (but that is highly poisonous to dogs), and erythritol (which is very expensive).

I usually have a total of about 1tsp a day. maybe 2tsp if I have a homemade dessert.

I avoid everything else like the plague, because various ones have sent me hyperactive, insomniac, headachy, bad taste in mouth, squitty tum, general malaise or a selection from the list.
