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 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

Took Ashwa gummies for anxiety for a month initially and slept very well but would wake up in the morning with brain zaps. Stopped taking them for some months, then started again and took them for about 4 months and started to feel very weak , faint and sleepy throughout the day and decided to stop taking them. I have since had very bad withdrawal symptoms. Having heart palpitations, anxiety has become worse, chest pains, feeling depressed, shacking for no reason, panicking for no reason and feeling faint usually around the same time I used to take them. It’s been a week since I stopped taking them. Can’t wait for them to get off my system. Read More Read Less

I teach 6th grade in an urban middle school. The stress level is immense and over the last couple of years, I gained quite a bit of weight. I know that cortisol tends to send the fat to the belly so I thought I'd give this a try. The label states that it helps maintain normal cortisol levels, among other things. I started taking it about 6 months ago and the weight has been steadily coming off. I am on a program of monitoring the kinds of foods I eat and being aware of what drives me to eat. Combined, I have lost about 40 pounds. I ran out a while back and decided to see if it was really doing anything for me. After about two weeks off of it I noticed my weight plateaued, which is normal during weight loss. I continued to eat as I had been and after another week, I noticed fat building up around my waist. My weight was still sitting at the same measure and I started to think that maybe the pills were helping me with it. So, I recently bought more and after a week my weight started moving down again and my waistline is getting better. The weight loss is at a healthy rate of about half to 3/4 of a pound weekly and I feel better knowing my weight is moving down again, as well as my clothes fitting better. I haven't noticed any negative effects, perhaps because I make sure I take my meds on a full stomach. I do take meds for hypothyroidism and depression so, after reading some of the reviews, am going to cut down to one tablet a day instead of two. We'll see how that works. The brand I've been using is from Costco. It's put out by "youtheory" in 500mg capsules. No bad taste or weird mental issues.Read More Read Less

I've been taking the goli ashwagandha gummies for months now. I started with one gummy a night which is half of what is suggested. Whether it was a placebo effect or not I swear from night one I slept better and longer than normal. For the last week or so I've been taking two gummies which is the suggested amount for a nights sleep as I've been extra stressed and it's been difficult falling asleep again. These really help me to calm down after a stressful day, would definitely recommend! They don't hurt my stomach AT ALL. Read More Read Less

My wife and I are trying tonget pregnant and to hp reduce my stress levels. I tried Ashwagandha. It did help with my stress levels and i had great sleep. However. After about two weeks i started feeling ultra depressed and could have been classified as boarder line suicidal. I stopped taking Ashwagandha because i had no drive to take care of myself and after a few days i realized how much better I felt. Did it lower my stress levels yes but ill take some extra stress over being depressed. If you are going to try this. Just monitor yourself and if you see any mass shifts in the wrong direction, stop using it. Read More Read Less

Caused brutal insomnia. Wonder about possible interaction with Krill Oil and/or L-Tryptophan supplement I've been taking. Discontinuing ashwagandha after the first dose.

Taking only 125 mg (Life Extension brand) at night to enhance my sleep. Very surprised how much deeper my sleep has been. Not really longer - still wake up fairly frequently but usually fall back asleep quickly. No side affects that I have noticed. Very pleased.

Only tried it once, one tablespoon in water of ashwagandha root powder before sleeping. It did make me sleepy at first. However, I started sweating profusely after about 30 minutes and after about two hours I woke up with rapid heartbeat and couldn't go back to sleep. Than, for weeks, I had terrible itching and urticary-like reaction all over my body (I never had that in my life before). I also had inflammation of sinuses, especially the ears. I really don't recommend.

I took it for anxiety. At first it helped, I was more stable, less anxiety. Then after week three, I started sleeping bad, had very lively dreams, and had a strange feeling in my head, plus headaches. Then all of a sudden I had the worst panic attack in years, problems breathing, legs were twitching. It lasted several hours. My doctor told me that, since it's part of the nightshade familiy, it can work really bad for some (or even many) people. I will never use it again.

I'd say for the last 13 months I have suffered from crippling anxiety. Like bad, I would wake up every single day feeling sick, in a dream like state, I would get ready to head to work or out with friends, or to the grocery or anywhere and I would just feel so anxious it physically made me sick. I actually ended up on the ER because I was having a panic attack and thought I was dying!! A co worker suggested ashwagandha, months ago. I was in the supermarket a few weeks ago walking to the check out ready to get the heck out of there and grabbed some ashwagandha gummies just thinking to myself why not try... I hopped in my vehicle and took 2 gummies... From what seemed that moment on I've felt 95% back to normal. None of the symptoms I mentioned above have been present at all since taking the supplement. My mind doesn't race anymore, I'm not dizzy or tense or anything!!! I feel like they have saved my life.Read More Read Less

Used Elderberry and Ashwagandha tea for few days and am now on Prednisone(steroid) and Benadryl because of the Moderate allergic reaction I’m experiencing it’s either the allergen or it hyped my Immune System and I’m reacting to a still unfounded substance. Never had food allergies before using Ashwagandha it’s the only newly exposed substance I’ve ingested. This substance must be reviewed by the FDA and managed to a much better degree.

Took the Goli Ashwagahnda gummies for 3 nights hoping it would help me sleep. Did not help with sleep and gave me a headache, severe fatigue and felt depressed. Stopped taking and feel better. I'll live with less sleep.

During Covid surge i started having this as a precaution. It not only improved my immunity, it also helps me from stress, anxiety etc and my work output and family life improved a lot. I had seizure symptoms, that also gone after regularly taking this in morning and evening along with Milk. Also boosted my health and confidence and interest towards everything.

I took only have the recommended dose just to be safe since it was my first time taking this and after about 20 minutes it caused me to have a horrible panic attack and made me feel like passing out. My heart was racing, sound and light sensitivity were extremely heightened. I could barely put together sentences and I felt like I had taken hard drugs. Never took it again. But on the bright side taking this and it’s bad reaction helped me realize I have thyroid issues which were causing the symptoms I was originally taking this for. Read More Read Less

I stated taking this because I wanted to find a more natural way to focus and stop my ADHD meds. After researching it everything else that came with it was a bonus! I can tell you I was depressed like never before and this got me up, out, and motivated again. I get the over the counter pills from grocery and take one a day…. It’s been a great experience for me.
