User Reviews for ashwagandha

helped with insomnia,anxiety,and arthritis.generally feeling of wellbeing.my daughterinlaw got pregnant after trying for over a year.

I use it regularly at half dose and it helps me lower my stress levels. Thanks to this I've reduced my bursts of anger about stupid stuff, because of my lockdown related stress.

Started taking Ashwagandha after a few months of anxiety symptoms. Waking up through the night and feeling wired and edgy. Take tablets at night before sleep. This is my second time taking tablets for around 6 weeks as suggested. First time worked well but anxiety returned so on again. Highly recommended and hopefully helps you also if anxiety is an issues

Dealing with increased acid reflux due to stress. Take Align probiotic. Saw Align with Ashwagandha 125mg in my drug store and thought I'd try it. It had strong sedation effects, so much it relaxed my diaphragm too much and I had difficulty breathing. Drank caffeine to counteract effect. Be careful when taking herbal type medicine. These are drugs as well. They may be natural but still are drugs.

Started taking 350 mg Ashwagandha daily to help with anxiety. It made me feel like I'd drunk several cups of coffee. I was very jittery and it gave me an upset stomach. I stopped taking it after two weeks and then tried to take a much lower dose ~100 mg and while the jitters were not there at that dose it had the same negative digestive effects including severe bloat and diarrhea. Be careful with this stuff.

Worked immediately. I suffer from severe fatigue and focus issues. Both are seemingly gone. I am so happy that I started taking Ashwagandha—1300 mg nightly.

After just two pills I am having the worst elergic reaction ever. I have never in my life had a reaction to anything. however I have a severe itch from my head to my toes. No rash or whelps just itch. Running water over my hands feels like what I might imagine shingles would be. (which I have also never had) It feels like a thousand pin pricks on each hand and the water hurts/stings. no broken skin anywhere on my hands. In my research before purchase allergic reaction was not readily apparant. I have to investigate several brands to find that information.Read More Read Less

Day 3 of taking I had overwhelming sadness and a lack of desire to do anything.

Country Life --- Stress Shield has the best form of Ashawanda . It is a patent form and it also has great other ingredients as well

Took this to help with university-related anxiety. I tried SSRIs and they made my anxiety worse. After one week of taking 600mg twice a day, my tension headaches went away and I no longer had panic attacks. Before, I would have terrible heart pounding whenever I went to sleep but this has completely gone away. I have had one panic attack since starting the supplement 4+ months ago which is a huge improvement.

I am able to sleep at least 5 hours a night after three months taking two 600 mg. tablets before breakfast and before dinner. The herb works best for me when I take it one hour before eating. Helps me with chronic pain.

It takes me approximately 2 weeks to feel full affects. I recommend to cycle off of it instead of going completely without. I went without and had a depressive and anxiety episode.I was thinking of admitting myself because of it. Please use responsibly by notating any changes in emotions or mindset. I was taking only 250 mg per day. It does help me with anxiety and OCD tendencies.

Helped me feel better than I had in several years. Then my hair began falling out in clumps. My fingernails and toenails began to break off and split longways. Only time in my life I had cramps before a period. Never ever using again.

KSM-66 Ashwagandha plus 500mg capsules from Wild Nutrition, One capsule per day at morning for severe anxiety and depression. Miracle cure for last 5-6 months. This started to work for me after first few weeks, but did really notice huge difference for my wellbeing after 2 months. Increases the brain function, physical wellbeing, highly increased libido(in a woman,lovely orgasmic days), anxiety and stress reduction, but also night time insomnia and daytime drowsiness and fatigue. It does not take the anxiety away totally, but has made me able to manage quite well when nothing un-expected or stressful happens. During the usage I have noticed that my tolerance and resilience is only growing and I'm starting to trust that I can manage what ever happens. I do not feel that depressed anymore. It protects you from little daily stresses, but if something major happens it is not enough to cushion you from the impact fully. Which is super positive as nobody wants to become a zombie feeling nothing, but actually build more resilience and experiences. Like, 4 weeks ago something very stressful happened to me, my anxiety peaked up very high and found new forms of torment (shopping in Supermarkets started to become difficult and panic inducing + physical symptoms were becoming a norm). I thought that I needed to have some conventional mental medication and that Ashwaganda wasn't enough anymore. However I was too afraid to eat the mental meds, because my anxiety (+previous bad side-effects experiences). So it left me in just to increase my Ashwagandha intake to 2 capsules per day. It was too much and I got pretty bad nausea for a week. I went back to one capsule per day and I feel really good again! Did my 2 workdays very well and seems that I can manage again. So even that you you might get your anxiety peaking up it feels that I recover back to my "normal" level after period of down and I feel more at ease about everything. Also attending weekly counselling last 3 months.Read More Read Less

I have suffered from insomnia and was xanax dependant for years, but Ashwagandha (2 cap after dinner)helped me get rid of xanax, and now I am once again able to sleep soundly without any side effects or morning hangover.

This stuff works for anxiety, for me at least. I have been taking it for about a month. 600 mg twice a day (2.5% withanolides). I had been waking up early in the morning with severe anxiety, and that has abated significantly. I started seeing a difference within days. I still feel some anxiety in the morning, but it is not nearly as brutal. I also feel happier during the day and I'm able to get things done much easier. I'm at the point where I get nervous if I forget to take it, because I know it works. One note - I did get nauseous in the beginning when I started it, but I powered through it and no longer experience that. I take it without food so maybe my body had to adjust. I would recommend it. Just keep in mind that it's likely not going to eliminate your anxiety. It should certainly help it though.Read More Read Less

I used this so that I could focus on studying and don't get me wrong it definitely worked with that, however I noticed I'd get a sharp pain around my body mainly on my feet and that arguably made me more anxious than school I even considered going to the ER right now!

Seems to aid sleep and adjustment to jetlag. Has removed aches and pains and increased muscle mass.

I am still anxious and forgettful.
