User Reviews for ashwagandha

I have been taking small tablets every now and then. These were given to me by an Indian friend, and I don't know what quantity of Ashvagandha they contain. I noticed I sleep like a baby after taking these but still wake up very tired even after 9 hours sleep. Although my experience has been alright, after reading these concerning reviews I will stop taking it.

I have been taking Ashwagandha for 5 years now and do need to caution how important dosage with this supplement. I have been taking 900mg for years, and my store was selling 4500mg and decided to try. I have been taking the 4500mg for 3 weeks now, and I have seen two interactions that I wanted to share. I have seen the anxiety reported, and also sudden profuse sweating. I have returned to the 900mg.

I have a sadness in my life which was controlling me, I was crying everyday.after the second day dosing, I felt better. 1 month later, I'm not crying at all. My issue can't resolve but I feel so much better. I can go on now in my life!

My daughter15, took ashwagandha gummies and within days started.to have severe anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations., I had to hospitalize her after taking her to the emergency room. These herbs should all.have a large warning label. Please spread awareness. The dangers of Ashwagandha. This herb works on the serotonin receptors of the brain and can also suppress serotonin levels causing severe alterations in mentation.

I have severe anxiety and recently diagnosed with a thyroid issue. I am stressed daily and this was recommended. My stress levels improved but I was unaware that it had major side effects with anxiety and thyroid medication. This landed me in the ER with a blood pressure of 60/45 and feeling awful. I also started to have migraines which again because it was all natural I chalked it up to stress. I believe it's also made me not interested in the things I once was and asked my doctor to put me on an antidepressant due to it. After reading both good and bad reviews I'm chalking it up to the Ashwagandha. I'm taking a break from it to see if symptoms improve.Read More Read Less

-Brand: Ladrôme Ashwagandha Bio (tincture) -Dose they recommend: Daily max. 50 drops, or 1.31 g of extract (1310 mg) -Dose I used: Started with 15-20 drops twice a day, reduced to 5-8 drops once a day. -Reasons for taking the tincture: Hormonal imbalance, anxiety, insomnia, to boost the immune system. -My experience so far: The first days I took about 15-20 drops twice a day. My anxiety seemed to worsten about an hour after taking the tincture, this would luckily slowly fade away but I did feel foggy, a bit numbed and depressed and nauseous throughout the day (I almost never get nauseous, so this was strange to me). Positive thing was that I did sleep like a baby but the downside was that I had a really hard time getting out of bed in the mornings. So after a few days I decided tot lower the dosage to about 10 drops twice a day. The foggy and numbed feeling stayed and made me feel insecure about my daily tasks so I decided to only take the tincture before bedtime. The deep sleep was wonderful, but I kept feeling so tired in the morning, it took me hours to feel a bit alert and I didn't like the light feeling of nausea that I remained as well, so again I lowered the dosage to only 5-8 drops once a day (before sleep). This seemed to work for me, as I was sleeping alright (not as deep as with the higher dosage though). I didn't feel nauseous, although it did still reduce my appetite and my anxiety and feelings of light depression would fade as well. I seemed to function fine during the day and my symptoms of PMS seemed to decrease. In general I felt good with this dosage. Especially because it seemed to balance my hormones (no mood swings, no swollen glands before my period, no increased susceptibility to allergy). In the description of this tincture it says to stop using it after three weeks. I decided to stop for 2-3 weeks (reducing the dosage to only 3 drops the last 3 days). After this pause I will start again with the dosage of max 8 drops a day before sleep and see how that goes. At this moment I have stopped taking the tincture for four days and didn't notice any big withdrawal symptoms. Although unfortunately I do have some trouble with sleeping again. Because there are so many warnings about this plant medicine, along with soms really bad experiences, I'm rather careful with using it. The way it made me feel in the beginning also made me cautious.Read More Read Less

Presently I'm taking one 1500mg capsule with a mid-morning meal. This is down from the three capsules daily (one after meals, and at bedtime). With one capsule I have a quiet mind and a calm demeanor with virtually no scattershot thoughts getting through. Any more than one capsule will make you feel suppressed, not advisable for sleep, imo.

It works amazing! It took a few weeks take effect, but definitely works for me! I feel so much better, and I only take 500 mg a day.

I have a lifetime of difficulty falling asleep and this has made me able to fall sleep regularly.

I only took it two different times in small doses, a fraction of a capsule. Did not feel any good effects on low dosage. But saw things moving like an LSD trip. Freaked me out both times I took it so I stopped.

Unfortunately this product gave me violent diarrhea & vomiting. I believe the recommended dose is way to high 6000mg. I followed the dose 1 a day......this was the first & last time I will try Jamieson products.The recommended dose is 250mg NOT 6000....very bad product. Thankyou

Nutraharmony's Sea Moss with Ashwagandha has become an integral part of my wellness routine, providing me with a natural energy boost and promoting a sense of calm and clarity. I love that it's all-natural and free from any artificial additives.

It's difficult to get anti-anxiety medications because the doctors are leery of addiction, abuse, etc .I get it, but what is one supposed to do when anxiety occurs? So, I decided to try ashwagandha/l-theanine combo tablets. Wow, I couldn't believe how calm they made me feel. I was able to think straight in the face of highly-charged situations, and I just had a general sense of well-being that I hadn't felt in a many years. The tablets helped my husband, too. However, we are afraid of taking any supplents long-term because they all have eventual side effects. And since our bodies will adapt to them over time, won't we need to take a larger and larger doses? It's scary. So, we've decided to take the pills "as needed." Read More Read Less

I ended up in the hospital very sick from using ashwaganda - I was diagnosed with a Drug-induced Liver Injury from it. I highly recommend you do your research as the contents of these herbal supplements is not regulated & no telling what’s in them.

Ashwagandha lowered blood pressure, but caused awful acid reflux and strange shooting pains in my joints. Seems like a powerful but risky supplement. Tried it twice (KSM-66).

Nutraharmony's Sea Moss supplement with Ashwagandha has become my go-to addition to my wellness regimen. The blend of sea moss and ashwagandha packs a powerful punch of nutrients and adaptogens, supporting my immune system and helping me manage everyday stress. Plus, the capsules are easy to swallow. Two thumbs up from me!

Took 1 tablet a day for 6 weeks no problem . Felt a little more energised than normal. I then took a 6 week break before starting on the 1 tablet a day again . I have become totally intolerant to the stuff . It now gives me heavy vomiting and the squits. Within a few hours of taking 1 tablet I can only liken it to food poisioning Symptoms.

Morning Kick by Roundhouse Provisions has given a real boost to my metabolism and helped reduce inflammation, thanks to the ashwagandha. It's improved my digestive health and helped me start my day on a strong note. The anti-inflammatory properties are a huge plus after a long day of physical work.

I've been incorporating Nutraharmony's Sea Moss supplement with Ashwagandha into my daily routine for the past month, and I'm satisfied with the results overall. It provides a convenient way to boost my overall health, and the combination of sea moss and ashwagandha has noticeably enhanced my energy levels and reduced my stress.

My endocrinologist recommended “ashwaganda” To “lower” my cortisol levels which were high. He wanted me to take 3 of the Gaia Ashwaganda gummies so that is 1,800mg. Every day for 3 months. I started in February. The second week of April, I noticed some “gastrointestinal” issues I had random nausea throughout that week. My appetite was disappearing and then the weekend of April 12. I had the most random panic attack. I have not had panic attacks in YEARS! And then that’s when I started noticing heightening anxiety now I do have anxiety, but this was different. This was more intrusive anxiety! That Monday 4/15 I woke up SICK like if I was poisoned. Aggressive vomiting, nausea, shakes, elevated heart rate, feeling like my blood sugar was crashing. This was how I was that Monday though 4/19. I went to the ER because I didn’t eat that week, I honestly felt like I was dying & my anxiety was the worse it’s been like it was just 24/7 & intrusive at that point. The ER told me I was severely dehydrated & kept monitoring my heart. I tried to convince him that maybe this was just all anxiety related, but they disagreed. They were concerned about my stomach and the symptoms I was experiencing they had to put me on a few IV bags. They didn’t want to release me, but they wanted to see how I felt at home after medicating me and putting me on the IVs. But they did tell me to stop the supplement! I didn’t think anything of it at the time I was like it’s a natural supplement shouldn’t be an issue, but I was wrong. Unfortunately there is withdrawal symptoms and they can last weeks longer from all the thorough research. I have been doing thorough research has brought to my knowledge that this supplement is very toxic. I’m not the only one who has experienced these issues! It’s been almost a month since I stopped to supplement and I am still dealing with crippling intrusive anxiety. It’s there every day I still have a very sensitive stomach. I am not depressed, but I just feel like I’ve lost desire and the things that I love and in my own work! I am a full time entrepreneur so imagine how I feel! Heart always seems elevated, I get fainty a lot. I’m tired all the time & do not feel like myself which makes me feel hopeless. I am stressing if my brain will ever bounce back from this… it did lower my cortisol levels but the as it worth it? NO. I did check my thyroid, my vitamin d, copper levels (ashwaganda contains copper), magnesium everything came back normal. Ashwaganda just really affected me :( STAY AWAY FROM IT. Read More Read Less
