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 used ashwagandha for about 6 months at a stretch (without consultation with any physician). It worked very well. I used to have heart palpitations under stressful situations. I was earlier diagnosed with depression and autonomous symptoms of anxiety. It worked from the very first day. reduced palpitations , controlled breathing , stress almost vanished. And it greatly increased my stamina. I almost stopped yawning!! what worries me is that it does not have much scientific backing (very less human trials done). so side effects are relatively unknown to us. that is one potential risk that remains.. other than that it safe to say that this herb definitely works.Read More Read Less

I started taking ashwagandha to help with deal with anxiety, which is a new condition for me. I took it for three days last week and can honestly say I felt more like myself than I had in quite some time. However, but the middle of day three, my tongue became so dry that it was painful, so I had to stop, which was extremely upsetting as if felt as if it were working wonders. I actually bought a liquid version and I'm starting out with 5 drops a day, mixed with water to see if my body can get accustomed to it. I also recommended it to a friend also suffering from anxiety and after several days is noticing the dry mouth effect as well.Read More Read Less

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 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.
