My mom was having hallucinations at night, little people, wild animals, the room was changing - all things that were real to her. I give her 8 drops of Ashwagandha extract that I put into a shot glass with a tablespoon of water. I get the organic extract at Whole Foods, Herb-Pharm brand works best. I started her off with a few drops and added drops each night until she began sleeping through th...

Ashwagahanda worked in the beginning but after about 6 weeks I began to start having strange thinking. I stopped it for about 2 weeks or so. When I went back on it again I began to have suicidal thoughts. I stopped it immediately.

I took powder ashwagandha from a month because I had anxiety disorder . At the beginning it was very hard as I felt vomiting and stomach issues but later on I changed my routine. I started taking after meals so there was no any issues about vomiting and stomach. I am feeling better as everyone said it is too early to say results but I was not able to sleep well now I can do better

I have has insomnia since i weaned myself off of zanex in 2020. Tuning forks and vibrational tuning energy has help a lot so I am not staring at the ceiling for hours, and so has castor oil packs - deeper sleep even in just the two to three hours window of my first hours before I wake up - I then am awake for 2-3 on and off and then can get back to sleep after that time. I read about ashwagandha "Powder" helping with sleep and I so happen to have some on my shelf (old but okay) - have my on supplement store in my house - lol - due to my mom's way of raising us) so I thought I would give it a go. WOW - amazing!!! - I slept most of the night - waking on and off, but going RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP!!! - This is what I fight every night and is HUGE for me and the last 3+ years of trying to find something that would help me sleep and sleep through my hot flashes instead of wake me up. So I took it two night and it was GREAT!, but I do feel sluggish in the morning - kind of drugged feeling. Then forgot for a couple of nights - and back to the waking up hours in the middle of my sleep. Then remembered again - and took the last two nights - and bam - sleeping through the night with waking up, but very easily getting back to sleep instead of tossing and turning for hours. For me this is a miracle - It is Jarrow which is a good brand from my experiences, and it is a powder not a capsule and tablets are terrible -hard and hard to ger broken down and used - also more crap in tablets usually. Will keeep taking - will have to see if it wear off over a few months. I have taken vitamins my WHOLE LIFE - as my mom was into health and we were raised that way starting in the 50's and 60's- she was reading and listening to nutritionists Read More Read Less

I was actually using the Ashwagandha in NUTRAHARMONY's complex, Irish Sea Moss supplement with Ashwagandha 1000 mg. I have to tell you, the results were not very fast to appear. Maybe it's just my experience. But in 2-3 months, I felt less anxious and more energized throughout the day, and my husband noticed that I slept much better at night. I used to talk at night and be low in mood for months post-COVID. Overall, my experience with the supplement is positive. Hope they make it into liquid drops sometime.Read More Read Less

I took two capsules for the first use and my stomach aches and totally sick on my stomach. I am unable to sleep. Ashwamag is a terrible supplement. Should’ve read reviews before this purchase. What an expensive waste.

The supplement industry is highly unregulated so beware where and what you buy. I could imagine reading these highly disparate reviews, this is an issue along with getting the right dosage level. Watched videos on a ashwaganda in youtube. I'm taking Costco 500MG for a few weeks and very pleased. Feel a little mild calm over-relaxed dopy tire feel, like you took a very mild opiodal or something. No stomach issues. only think I'm watching is my urination seems slowed down (guy 61). I'm experimenting with one AM and one at bed for insomnia and high cortisol/stress. So far it's really good. I'll probably back off to once/day at night and or lower the dosage and try to find the minimum dosage I can take while yielding what I'm after. Cuz, it's helping a ton. Read More Read Less

Literally just like taking a Xanax or Ativan. Contains the exact same ingredients of pain killers, anxiety pills, and sleep pills all rolled into a brown capsule of dried plant. It's wonderful for anxiety and insomnia- but it's not something to play with!

Ashwagandha has been extremely effective in lowering my blood pressure, very effective lowering my stress levels. Gives me a sense of calmness. No side effects has been noticed.

Very good supplement. It gives me vigor. I don't get as tired from stress as I used to. I can do a lot of things throughout the day. It is not an stimulant, It is more like you don't get too tired from stress. For those Who have severe side efects from herbs like Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Eleuthero and such, don't forget they may interact with medicines. Good luck.

Initially I took this as needed at night to help me sleep, it worked very well at making me drowsy. Sometimes I would take it to calm me down after a particularly anxiety-producing incident, also worked very well for this. I have been taking Prozac, but the efficacy was starting to wane, so I decided to try taking the ashwaganda daily. This was less than 2 weeks ago, so it's too soon to say on that count. I have never experienced any side effects and am actually quite surprised at some of the reviews. Dosage is just 460 mg as needed.Read More Read Less

I started supplementing with ashwagandha at the advice of a few people to ease everyday anxiety and low mood. It worked great for the first few days, but after a week or so I experienced emotional blunting, brain fog and wild mood swings. I cycled off, then back on again and the same feelings came back paired with borderline paranoia. I would advise being very careful with this stuff as I guess it affects people in different ways. It isn't for everyone

I tried Ashwagandha for anxiety and felt terrible, I only took two capsules over two days, I had stomach pain and felt like I would be sick, I felt panicky and strange, I also had a panic attack, I'd never had a panic attack before and even though I only took two capsules I had a panic attack again two weeks later!

This has helped me tremendously post covid. I've dealt with post covid anxiety, and long term covid issues(everything on the list). It seems when i take this my joint pain is way less and anxiety way less, and i just feel better overall....I've been taking it about 2 years now, usually a 300mg gumy in the am and at lunch. And then a tablet at bed time(300mg).

As a man, I noticed a great upgrade in my libido. More energy during my day. With a higher dose, I can definetly feel the substance in my body giving me energy to go through the day. Also take during a meal to avois stomach upset. Did not notice a change in my anxiety however, I think? Try it for yourself, everyone's body reacts differently.

After three days I went from high blood pressure to low. I had to cut my blood pressure pills in half. But I will mention I was also dieting and working out more. And I have lost a few pounds. IF I can get off blood pressure altogether, that would be awesome.

I've found this supplement extremely effective. So much so that I only take two tablets when I want novel effects for just one day. The most noticeable effect is a quieting of the mind. I feel more sleepy, more comfy, but not tiered, not low energy, just cool and collected – everything comes to me in a timely manner and I want to cuddle people. My satisfaction is somewhat lower than the effectiveness as though it clearly has a good effect on anxiety, it also decreases my desire to talk and share passionately – which I also love. So though it makes me very comfortable in the room with many people, I cease to be life of the party – though that wasn't happening anyway. I simply reserve this analog for when I want a different colour spilled over the day. A fantastic novel effect which can help stimulate the fulfilment of your week.Read More Read Less

I tried a 150mg ksm-66 gummy. I ate it around 4:30pm. By 5:15 I was feeling some heaviness in my chest and my legs were more wobbly than with my everyday anxiety. By 6:30 I had lost my appetite, felt shaky, and had been in my bathroom peeing for 45minutes. Its now 915 and I feel nausea (been feeling like I was going to puke at any moment) and feeling a little more tired from it all. Hopefully I will get over all this soon!
