User Reviews for ashwagandha

I researched for something that would help with my stamina. I reviewed that information and decided to buy some ashwagandha the next time I saw it. I found the Goli nutrition brand, gummies, 300 mg. I take 1 in the morning before I take my dogs for a walk, before breakfast. My mind and body begin to wake up gradually over about 15 minutes. It is not a stimulant. It does not raise my blood pressure. I take another one about 2 or 3 in the afternoon. That's when my stamina begins to fade. I take another. Get up and move around and again my mind and body are able to have the stamina I need for the rest of the day. I almost never need to take a nap every afternoon as I had to before. I find I snack less, especially on simple carbs, that my body gets craving since it thought that would give me more energy. I actually feel more like eating healthier. I think 300 mg twice a day is probably best for me. I've also found that I can handle multiple, complicated, stressful tasks - without having so much anxiety I can't do anything. I plan on continuing to take it and have incorporated it into a very detailed medication/ supplement regimen. I hope I can take it regularly. It's made all the difference in my life.

I dont know if it helped me with stress anxety od depression, but i know the day i take it i have bad explosive diarhea. I tried it for few days and noticed the reason of the problem is this product...stoped..and problem stopped. The moment i took again the product same problem came back...

Amazing!!

CPTSD SINCE CHILDHOOD. I was on Paxil for 25 years but trauma break through was constant and eventually it interfered with my sleep. I slowly reduced Paxil and went through Paxil Withdraw syndrome. A night year for over a year to get this out of my system. I started Ashwagandha Conplex by Pattern Wellness and it truly works. My sleep is much improved and trauma flashbacks and somatic symptoms are 90% improved.

I take it for anxiety sometimes. Just a quarter teaspoon of an organic powder once a day. It has a mild but noticeable effect. I don’t take it for very long, maybe a few months at a time, cycling off for long periods in between.

I have always been very skeptical of anything that can alter your mind or change things with your body but this has been a god send I have only been on this for 3 weeks and have it in my coffee every morning it started too help me with my ptsd after the first day my night terrors have gone I don’t seem too have had one night terror or flashbacks since I’ve been taking this and it’s helped me too deal with stressful situations as well I seem too have taken the situation and thought properly about it and came up with solutions instead of just getting stressed like I have before I’d quite often get stressed and not even try too solve the problem just accept it but now I am actually getting through my problems I will recommend this too everyone I do believe that you can over do it though when I was having 3 a day I was having some serious bowel movements but been fine since I cut it down again Read More Read Less

I had panic attacks after taking this, short of breath and extreme anxiety. Can't believe this thing is sold as a "supplement". It's ridiculous .

After about 8 years of trial and error with almost every antidepressant and antipsychotic on the market (or so it seemed) and very little if any lasting help, I decided to give ashwaganda* a try. (*Adeeva brand, and ashwaganda, 5% withanolides powder, is only one of the ingredients. Others include schisandra, rhodiola, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc.) I have since been successfully able to wean psychiatric drug doses (which were harming my liver and causing other side effects). I sleep better, have less muscle pain and tingling, feel less anxious overall, can think more clearly, and no longer get episodes of hallucinations, extreme agitation or mental confusion. I've not noticed any side effects after more than 1 year of daily use. I started in slowly at 1 cap per day and have increased to 3/day. Would highly recommend Adeeva or a similar combination, to others seeking relief....although everyone's body may respond differently. The only drawback for me was the recommendation to take this product at least 2 hours apart from other medications or supplements, which was sometimes difficult with the rest of my protocol.

I’ve have been taking Ashwagandha for about a year and honestly, it has helped me with my stress and anxiety. The longer you take it the more you see the difference. I buy brand name ZHOU Ashwagandha. I feel like it helps me best, plus I tend to lean towards more organic stuff anyways.

I took one teaspoon of the ashwagandha powder to help me sleep. The following day I had uniary incontenance. Used depend and took again the 2nd night before bed. Incontenance worse the next day. Seems like it relaxed me too much.

Just taking one 300 mg dose caused super anxiety for me. I thought it could be something else & tried it again. No bueno. Tossed it out.

My anxiety attacks only strikes when I am worried of something, before, now that I am taking Ashwagandha I noticed my anxiety attacks got worse bec I keep having attacks for no reason at all.So I decided to stop taking t. It’s not worth it.

BEen Taking Nature's Bounty Ashwagandha for A Week An My Sleep Has Been Improved I do Not Wake Up Groggy Anymore I Wake Up Feeling Refreshed And I Started To Dream Again. I Haven't Been Dreaming In So Long. And I Feel Less Tense From Stress Witch Is A Big Relief On My Mucsles

I became so paranoid an depressed and almost felt i was going crazy wth weird thoughts..

Horrible !! Only took on tablet for anxiety at night and I woke up in the morning feeling like I had been drugged .. groggy, headache, confusion and horrendous anxiety. Be careful I know it must work For some but not for me !!

I sleep so much better and my mood is so much better when I take this. I feel less irritable and I sleep better.

Male, earlier 20s, non drug user and non smoker. Started use of chewable 350 mg root extract Ashwagandha gummies about a month ago for a boost in my strength training. First week of use was alright, i couldn’t notice a major difference. Then for the next few weeks I used not as consistent until I started noticing a drop in mood and symptoms of depression. I have a history of depression but the taking of Ashwagandha I believe is the only thing that has triggered my change in mood

I went on this hoping it would calm me down as St John’s Wort stimulated me a bit too much. Starting treatment with 1200mg of Ashwagandha gave me intrusive thoughts. After being on it for a few weeks I did notice I felt less anxious and more confident. However about a month on it I became very irritable and generally paranoid. I decided I was going to stay on it until spring after I tapered off of SJW. I took 1200mg a day and cut my dose in half for a week then stopped it completely a week after that. Irritability, panic attacks and feeling like I have the flu have been common for weeks after discontinuation. In my experience Ashwagandha has done more bad then good. If you are struggling with anxiety I would recommend talking to your doctor or looking elsewhere. Read More Read Less

I was so excited when I purchased the 90ml bottle from chemist warehouse. I tried it and with complete honesty I nearly vomited. The taste was sooooo bad like a combination of cloves, arse and shit! Omg people DO NOT PUT god awful potion on your tongue. Just dont! But, I’m now putting it in a little juice and walla!!!!!!! Problem solved!

Absolutely amazing. Been using the Goli gummies for little over a week and let me tell you. I have never felt happier in my life, my sex drive has increased, my stress levels dropped significantly, I'm having more positive thoughts throughout the day, depressive thoughts are no more, and gym wise they have made me leaner and stronger no joke. Before taking them, I was stuck at 315 for deadlift and then recently I hit 405 then 2 days after hitting it for my 1RM I repped 405 out for 4 reps. 10/10 should buy.Read More Read Less
