I Took Ashwagandha For 30 Days

Ashwagandha I feel saved my life in a way. I lost my dad in 2022, my mom and my beautiful wife past in 2023. I could not stop crying, metal negative thoughts and just sadness.

What's really interesting is I had the exact same experience with ashwagandha. I distinctly remember telling my parents (who were concerned about my mental health) that I no longer had highs or lows. But more of a steady 30% emotional state that was easy to stay in. As far as other people I'm not sure. But hearing everything he said was exactly my experience

I've been taking ashwagandha for close to a year now, and initially I was taking it for the "increase in testosterone" part. (which I can't say it had any effect) But, I have continued to take it because of the calming effect it has on me. I've dealt with higher levels of anxiety since the last 2 years of college and I started to notice that after I started to take it I was no longer letting thoughts spiral out of control as often. It would still happen from time to time, but I was able to notice it and put a stop to it before it became a panic attack.

I’ve been taking ashwaganda for quite some time now. I truly think it changed my life in a way. I’ve lived my life super anxious and filled with anxiety and worry. Always stressing over unnecessary things along with depression. It brings me personally down to a perfect level. I could see how someone could say it makes them completely numb but as for someone like me it brings it down to a level that makes my life more livable. I’d suggest everyone to try it for a month at least.

[@Reli798]

I have been cycling Ashwagandha for a few months now, and tbh I only really got the benefits from it. People in my life have always called depressed, emotionless or angry looking. This however really changed when I started taking Ashwagandha, at least for me mentally. I have always had little to no worry about things and didn't really stress about anything because I never saw the point. And when I started taking Ashwagandha the only things that really changed for me were being happier, more focused and even less worried. Also I noticed my testerone levels rising because I got way more horny then usual. Also I've been on no fap for a while so I really wasn't horny at all before. Clear day and night difference for me. The only negative side effect I noticed was sometimes like once a week or once in 2 weeks I had a depressing evening where I looked at myself and all the things I could have done better tbh. This however wasn't dismotivation, it was fuel to do better and create a better life for myself. If u read this all the way, thanks for ur time :) Hope this informed someone, also keep in mind Ashwagandha is a personal experience not everyone has the same one.

It’s like in the movie.. when I’m not on it I feel like I’m worrying more than before, im more in my head, and more anxious or insecure about the outcome. It’s weird.. I think im stopping it.

I've been experiencing really bad depression and anxiety to the point of random panic attacks for the past 2years since my ex-husband and I separated and its been really hard cause most days i just dont recognize myself and my whole routine was thrown out the window. No energy, sad, paranoid, and very distant. I bought ashwaganda a few months ago after seeing it on KZbin and I think I took it a couple times b4 bed because I thought it was gonna make me sleepy since I kept hearing that it helped with sleep. So I didn't take notice to any effects. Then recently, I was feeling so drained and just meh and really didnt want to feel like that for my trip to PR and I went to look for my womens multi vitamins which I didn't find but I did find my prenatal vitamins and the ashwaganda pills and I have been taking them for the past week or so in the morning and I've been feeling not just like myself but the self I always feel inside. Ive been happier, more social, energetic, less stressed and just funner, if thats a word, lol. But anyway so far i want to cry tears of joy because u just don't understand how long it's been since I've felt not lost or like a battery that its almost time to throw away 😢.

I have been going through the nootropics rabbit hole looking for the best supplements for my gaming needs. Ashwaghanda did miracles for me…. Faster reaction, my aim was more on point, better problem solving skills, I can get into “flow” faster, found myself yelling into the mic, yelling out orders, “move right, move right!” Pinging enemy, moving fast and intelligently, winning gunfights w MULTIPLE enemies. I know this works because I STOPPED taking ashwaghanda and started experiencing brain fog while gaming, not concentrating enough, reacting slower, not in tuned w team movements. My friends even started saying i suck now for some reason lol and I sat down started thinking wtf happened, what changed? And the only thing i can think of, I stopped taking ashwaghanda due to I ran out. I just received a new batch, started taking them again & now i feel like im slowly regaining my skills back. Old friends watching me play saying things like, “WHY YOU DONT PLAY LIKE THAT WHEN YOUR W ME?” Not knowing, im on ashwaghanda again.

what were your specific dosages? I've seen recommendations of 200-800mg/day, so if you were going over that your dose may have been too high. alternatively you could be very sensitive to it, and need to move to a lower dose and/or every other day. if you are looking for a more athletic focus, I'd suggest looking into Tongkat Ali (400mg a day) and Fadogia Agrestis (600mg a day) I like your plan of taking it during acute anxiety or stress periods; use it to put the breaks on the cortisol.

[@CrackedZac]

My experience with ashwagandha is that it 100% works. Pros: It’s actually amazing for anxiety - that feeling of nervousness/tightness neck&jaw/butterflies in your stomach. It like… just turns that off. It’s quite crazy. Definitely reduces stress/cortisol levels and increases just peace of mind Cons: If you take too much you lose your drive/motivation. Cortisol/stress is actually a huge factor of motivation so when you feel at peace and satisfied - you’re generally likely to be less motivated. Definitely happened to me. Up for you to decide if that’s truly a bad thing or not tho. Take it before bed and you’ll literally feel like you didn’t sleep at all. From what I’ve heard this can be different for anyone but when I take it before bed I LITERALLY feel like I didn’t rest AT ALL and I did this for 3 consecutive days before realizing - holy crap I feel like I haven’t slept for 3 days. Take it around 1-5pm for best results.

I need that lack of emotion I smoke to get rid of my emotions so taking this will help me stop smoking weed honestly

[@lizwalker4153]

I took Ashwaganda for 3 months and I felt ,calm,my sleep was fantastic,and I arose early due to quality sleep.Things that normally would bother me didn’t make me angry at all,and usually if I watched a sad film I’d be in bits ,but I wasn’t. I will be finishing this months pack then I’ll be coming off it to see how I feel.But I could imagine it’s great for grief, exams,a break up as apposed to very strong anti depressives.

[@FragmentOfInfinity]

Yeah, my experience has been similar. Just a nice baseline calmness and far less reactive behavior

[@AS-nv5yo]

Wanna see what is your verdict on L-theanine, the extract of green tea and its calming effect

[@dfasdfgdsfdf588]

I take it only if feeling stressed or if i want to have a really good workout, at most 2 times per week. I once took it daily for 4-5 months and experienced the motivation/drive reduction. It definitely should not be taken long term without cycling.

[@03mikee47]

It changed my mindset and dont get nervous in situations no more

[@alexandramunoz4551]

Isn't weird how recognising our anxious thoughts back, gave you some comfort? Like, oh my gosh, Im "myself again", does anyone relate?

[@yarakstyle9135]

You shouldn't take ashwagandha for longer than 30 days because most of the time between week 3 and 4 the "negative" side effects begin. Also, reducing cortisol for a long time is not beneficial

[@_-ghost-__4999]

Viagra for 30 days next!!

[@karenlesleypowell2470]

I've just bought some from a health store. I suffer terribly from anxiety and prescription meds not really helping. I am willing to try anything to cope.

[@Joggum_]

This is SO helpfull, thanks a lot for documenting and making this information entertaining and interesting

[@alaneyue]

Great video documenting your journey with the supplement. P.S. You have amazing hair!

[@Cadv-gw1xt]

Try Shilajit from nootropics depot

[@dekky3908]

I have experienced this once before. I over-trained hard for a summer and had no emotional response to anything. I felt like a robot, performing duties based on routine and not out of desire. It was interesting experience, but I wouldn't recommend trying it on purpose.

[@JoshuaTaylor-i1j]

Reading the scripture. Love that man! Amen!

[@yesnt8907]

Take Datura for the next 30 days

[@jordangibson4173]

Ive been taking it two weeks, i have an immense change in response to stress, im more present and dont react as negatively.

[@andyharshman]

Connor Murphy took Ayahuasca for 30 Days

[@topofthemornintoya]

Thanks

[@aryanupadhyay6492]

rather than having tablests i prefer powder of ashwagandha with warm milk at morning and 2 hours before sllep and it helps alot only saying it by personal expirience

[@iamaverygoodboi]

Try a carnivore diet for week idk i think it will make an interesting video

[@kyle6209]

Low does were great, high doses were very bad

[@jelen_III]

My two week experience(I took root powder) is the same as yours regarding calmness and emotional numbness. Sleep did not improved, neither did libido or overall drive(suggestion - next time you take ashw, measure your T-levels before and after?). On two occasions I felt lets call it enhanced endurance in my training sessions. Generally I felt light headed and not normal. Conclusion - Not worth it. Similarly as you said, if I ever use it again, I will limit the use only for few days and in expectation of upcoming demanding time period. Now I am about to check other peoples experiences in comments.

[@scotthoward4836]

Youve explained everything the way i experienced it. The side effects vary on the quality and the testing of the ashwagandha product for the amount of lead still found in it whether it's in the safe range or not.. I gave it up because of the side effects. I experienced them all in the end

[@stevenbentley895]

It reduces cortisol, I think I take the correct amount in the morning kick drink. Definitely works against stress, clear thinking

[@medsadok5498]

great video ! and i'm definitely taking ashwagandha now xD i need that carefree lifestyle now in my life

[@Wolfsgejaule]

Yup! Matches my experience. My conclusion was to only take it occasionally.

[@pkstiever]

Have you tried taking it every other day or smaller dose? Sounds like you need to be somewhere in between to be balanced.

[@tab021]

combine and expand some old experiments to make a new one! 20 rep squat program + GOMAD for a full 6 week cycle. Go old school! And grow the stash again too!

[@b2bverkoop]

You are great at story telling!

[@nickh7408]

Good info, thank you!

[@L-mo]

Sounds like natural prozac/SSRIs. Anhedonia is possibly not a side effect, more an on target effect, if you think of it as an antianxiety medication. If you do not have a diagnosable anxiety disorder, you probably should not take this, just like you wouldn't take a prescription antianxiety med. If you have chronic anxiety/depression - sounds like it could be effective.

[@ridgetop8161]

I have found the key for me is to take it about an hour before bed. I avoid taking it in the morning. Haven't had too many side affects other than weird dreams and stuff.

Liver qi stagnation is a pathological change in the dispersing function of the liver and can cause emotional depression.
