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.

Joint aches in fingers, knee were reduced significantly. Similarly,anxiety and attention have been improved good. I stop taking my blood pressure medicine for one and half year. It helped me for my simus and sleeping apanea. I found it beneficial with a mixture of turmeric, ginger and honey.

I have been trying to solve mental issues for about a year. Took ashwangandha and it was immediately effective at increasing focus and decreasing anxiety. This positive effect lasted for about 2 weeks. I have attempted increasing doses, but it appears as if I would have to continue exponentially increasing to achieve the desired result. Nevertheless, I think this is a great supplement for overall health. Going to try rhodiola to resolve anxiety issues.

I have difficulty sleeping. This has been an effective, non-prescription sleep aid.

Inexpensive, safe, and effective. I take a high-quality extract every evening, an hour before bed. It not only helps with my anxiety, I am also able to sleep through the nigh without interruptions.

I have a bad knee (bone on bone for 42 years) and like to spend about an hour a day on my treadmill. I was having problems so I started using Glucosomine, Chondroitin, MSM and Hyaluronic acid. It worked well but my knee still ached in the mornings. I tried Ashwagandha and my morning aches went away. I now spend an hour a day on my treadmill at 3.5 MPH and a 3.0 incline.

Started taking "sleep tonight" by Enzymatic Therapy a couple wks ago. Has aggravated anxiety, been sleeping MUCH more poorly! Looked it up and the aswaghanda over stimulates the thyroid. I had decided it must be the thyroid supplements so quit taking them (altho I've taken it for many yrs with no problems EXCEPT when a chiro had me taking extra "natural" thyroid supplements, which cause my 1st panic attacks which happened within 1/2 hr of taking them two days in a row! I was warned by several people, including a pharmacist, that over-stimulating the thyroid could cause these symptoms. This product should have a warning in the description and on the bottle! When I can't sleep I can't function. I have myalgic encephalomylitis (a very complex chronic illness which I used to call "fibro/fatigue"), BiPolar II, severe chronic depression with anxiety, and am a hyper-sensitive person who has to be very cautious of any meds or supplements as I seem to over-react to just about everything.Read More Read Less

Started taking Dr.Caruso's stress clear about two weeks ago, tried it as a last resort before going on prescription medication to control my anxiety. Has definitely helped and has really improved my energy levels. I have had no side effects. I still have trouble concentrating but am hoping for more improvement with further use of this product.

I use Natures Answer liquid and it really works for me. I take it twice a day but not late afternoon or evening. Even if I skip a few days, it takes effect pretty much right away after I start taking it again. The things that would ordinarily stress me out and make me nuts, don't bother me nearly as much and I am able to handle problems and remain calm. I am thinking of changing to a capsule instead. I hope it will be as effective. I'm not sure if it is helping with my joint pain, but after a break from taking my Ashwagandah I've been on it a week now and noticed less pain. Read More Read Less

the anti inflamitory properties are readily apparent. I did not believe this would work, but it kind of does. It kept me from taking lortab and flexoril.
