Heed the warnings regarding interactions! I was using Gingko for three weeks to improve my memory. My Rhuematologist prescribed Ibuprofen twice daily for my arthritis and did not ask if I was taking anything. Two weeks later, a massive bruise suddenly appeared on my wrist.

I am turning 50 this year and I've noticed I didn't have erections in the morning and lots of other times, I also had severe leg and foot cramps, after taking Gingko for about a week, I couldn't believe it. I having been taking Gingko for about two years now. I don't have leg cramps anymore (unless I run out for a week), my erections are bigger and I have hardly any gray hair. This is not made up, this herb has been a micarle drug for me. Apparently the increase in blood flow is what my body needs. They must use Ginkgo in the Penis Pills, because on soft I have added 3 or 4 inches, believe it or not it worked for me, just wished I knew about Ginkgo years ago. I have not experienced any side effects, I started out 60 mg a day for a month once a day, then twice a day, now I take 120 mg twice a day. If you have poor circulation this is the herb for you.

I'm 57 years old. I'd swear when I take Ginko Biloba at double or triple the recommended dose I get frequent nocturnal erections, especially towards morning.

I tried ginkgo (a generic brand purchased as a supplement at Safeway supermarket) at age 35 and at age 36 (a total of two times) and experienced suicidal thoughts both times. I had never before had suicidal thoughts and have not had suicidal thoughts since that time. In each instance, I had just one dose of the ginkgo.

My parents started taking this a number of years ago. When I started noticing my memory and recall ability dwindling, I started taking it also. I have noticed my ability to recall words is better. My memory isn't perfect, but it is better.

My psychiatrist recommended Ginko Biloba when I wanted to introduce a natural remedy for schizophrenia (along with Ambilify). At first I took it by itself and then through SBX. I got a lot better and reduced the Ambilify but because SBX conains more than just Ginko Biloba it probably wasn't just down to the Ginko Bilboa. I would definate recomment Ginko though.

After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease over 5 years ago, I took Aricept. Last year, I started taking Ginkgo, and it seems to work as well for me as the Aricept did.
