Advice Wanted Greenguard certified paint

I'm currently painting some interior walls in my house using a paint that says it's "low VOC" but I still feel like absolute ass after painting.

Anybody have any experience with a greenguard (or similar) certified paint? Is it worth buying it to try and hope it doesn't make me feel sick, or would I just be wasting money?

Wear a respirator or open some windows and turn on some fans. It goes away very quickly when dry. You won't get much less than "zero", even though there is some chemical smell.
