Ashwaganda

Absolutely anybody taken ashwaganda for anxiety? Would be really helpful to hear opinions and hopefully success stories on it

Re: Ashwaganda

Hi, yes I've taken it with mixed results.

Yes, it did kill the anxiety but i did find it a bit strong and became slightly clumsy on it, bumping into things i never usually would have and also hit my head twice on the shower head.

It also killed my libido.

I'm quite sensitive to things like this so not a good example to go by really.

Re: Ashwaganda

Thank you so much for replying. I’m having real trouble on my current antidepressants and just was looking for other people’s experiences on ashwaganda. What dose were you taking?

I'm not sure, it was something i purchased on Amazon.

It really did kill my anxiety but did make me slightly detached and the associated clumsiness (there's probably a word for it).

Hi yes I am currently taking it again after a bit of a break (started feeling better and so forgot to take it!) I use the 500mg capsules from Cytoplan as suggested by my homeopath. I did notice a difference when taking it previously so am hoping to have the same results now I've started it up again!

Re: Ashwaganda

Thank you for your post and really glad to hear a positive experience on it. Great to know how much you take too. Does it take a while to work?

Re: Ashwaganda

I've felt drowsy all day while using it. It's one of the main side effects. Also it interferes with your gut. If you have IBS it's best to stay away from it. They say it improves cognitive function but I found while on this stuff I was docile. I was taking KSM-66 Ashwagandha from Love Life Supplements

Re: Ashwaganda

I've been taking the Goli gummy Ashwganda (very very sweet!) for the last week or so - not sure if ive noticed a difference or not really but going to keep taking to see. Not had a day of really bad anxiety since taking them though!

I take them, and CBD at the same time so hard to know what's working and what isn't though
