      ----- I took ashwaganda for a long time, 3..4 days per week. I liked the effect on psychology and regulation of sex drive. However, and that's a big one: It caused inflammation of the liver, AST got as high as 40. When I took it off, all other things roughly the same, AST returned to 28 after 8 months. So, if you start taking it, observe your liver enzymes...ashwaganda is toxic to the liver becareful not to take too much !

    I've been battling with general anxiety disorder and ADHD since forever. I am 38 years old male now, married with two kids.
    I took SSRI (Zoloft) for 23 years to battle my anxiety (general anxiety often perpetuated by my ADHD thought processing). It helped but numbed me down, I got "flat emotions", indifference, apathy and sexual problems as well. Wellbutrin add-on was beneficial for the sexual problems but it didn't take away the emotional flatness. Later on, I was diagnosed with ADHD (with out hyperactivity) and started vyvanse (a live safer, but needs to be cycled right in order to avoid tolerance).
    I have now weaned off the SSRI, but the withdrawal was horrible. I stumbled off on aswandganda and it made my weaning off 1000x more tolerable. I am now SSRI-free is since 1 year, and I take 500 mg aswandganda extract each day. Couldn't be more happier. So 500 mg aswandganda, 150 mg wellbutrin and 50 mg vyvanse (one day per week I dont take, due to avoiding tolerance, during summer vacation I also skip vyvanse) is a very stableing protocol for me against ADHD symptoms and anxiety.

Get 20 different herbs, and take 2 of them each day, rotate them so that you have something cor every day but each herb is only taken once every 10 days. This way you will minizme tolerance and maximize benefits.

It’s good to know there are other potential benefits as noted in the video. I am 71 years old and otherwise healthy but suffer from mild atherosclerosis.

      ​@@LeonidKimMDI have tried Ashwaganda with minimal effects and I believe I generally have high cortisol levels.
      after a lot of other research I found another adaptogen called seriphos which is a proprietary form of phospholated serine and along with magnesium found it to be significantly more effective in lowering stress/anxiety levels and measurably improves sleep.
      I use a sleep tracking device and I have determined that it increases the quality of my sleep significantly more than ahswaganda.
      I think it's very underrated as far as adaptogen go as Ashwaganda gets all the hype, although I think that has some cult following and many of the Amazon reviews seem to mention that it was their doctor recommending it to them.
      more recently I quit caffeine completely after many years of needing 0.5 or more a day to be productive and found that anxiety has dropped much further.

    I was pretty excited about taking Ashwagandha when I quickly discovered it did actually help me getting to sleep. I have an organic powder that I’d drink as a tea (1/2 tsp) every night at the same time. It was approximately the 5th night shortly after drinking it, my BP went up and I got pretty bad lower abdominal cramping. While using the powder I didn’t need to take my antidepressant for sleep so I wouldn’t think there’d be a medication interaction. Maybe pill form is better digested and I should consider that. Thankfully the discomfort passed after about half an hour. It was concerning though.

However, when I later stopped taking ashwagandha my thyroid hormones became unbalanced again, although it took a period of several years to do so. Back on ashwagandha!

Ashwaganda (specifically ksm-66) helped me stop binge eating once I increased my dosage to 300 mg twice daily. Oh, and the ashwaganda helped me stay asleep for at least 7-8 hours a night as opposed to the 3-6 hours I was getting a night. I came to this conclusion because I tested the L-theanine and ashwaganda several weeks apart before deciding to take both of them together. Love it. Personally, I take Nature’s Bounty. A 45 day supply is around $16 at Walmart. No need for expensive ksm-66 ashwaganda. As long as the back of label shows ksm-66, you can rest assured the cheap stuff is going to work as well as the expensive stuff. And yes, I’ve taken expensive ashwaganda that said ksm-66. There was no difference in benefits.

      I hope the l-Theanine you use is the Suntheanine. It is the best, the regular l-Theanine is inexpensive, cheap & not the best by far.. Google and learn, thank you. Joseph. Oh for sleep you can add a dab of castor oil on each eye lid 30 min., before bed or take a chamomile tea bag (not used) and inhale 10 times per each nostril. Last inexpensive thing is Essential oil, called: Good Night Oil, take 1 Tsp of water (in any little cap or small plate) and 2 drops of essential oil, mix, then apply a little on each wrist and a dab on you nose (bridge) that way you can inhale that and sleep. If anyone has mental illness I may be able to help. No fee at all.

      I am only replying to your query Regarding Panic Attacks as I do know from my own past history of having them . The Panic attacks I experienced were horrible , thought I was going to die of heart attack I was scared to breath properly really scary lasted hours on end for years it went on . Until one day I saw a stand in psychiatrist at my appointment THANK GOD not the same one I’d seen for over 2 yrs , (I’d been on anti depressants the whole time seeing that one ) but the stand in said to me THERE WAS NOT ONE PERSON EVER IN THE WORLD TO DIE OF A PANIC ATTACK NOT A SINGLE CASE EVER 😳 !! Then she told me WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE ANOTHER PANIC ATTACK …….. JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOUR BREATHING NOTHING ELSE BUT YOUR BREATHING AND ALL TJE PANIC ATTACK SYMPTOMS WILL STOP HAPPENING !!! The panic attacks will be over very quickly AND SHE WAS RIGHT !! It’s all down to the breathing going off track that caused my symptoms to escalate . After that woman told me I wasn’t going to die during a panic attack I only had one episode which lasted a few minutes . I focused on my breathing deep breath in slowy breathing out . IN TEN YEARS IVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER ONE TO DEAL WITH . I hope this helps you & anyone else & please share the info to help stop others having these horrible SYMPTOMS thank you . Oh I weaned off the anti depressants too 1 every other day for 2 wks then 1 every 2 days for 2 wks etc . GOD BLESS ALL

Ashwagandha basically jump start your immune system so if you are on immunosuppressants or should be or your colitis is autoimmune I wouldn't take ashwagandha. The dose you would need to be effective at would trigger an immune response and could aggravate your autoimmune disease, but I would talk it over with your doctor. Also for colitis I would caution carnivore diet especially if you consume high amount of red meat. I hope you find a solution.

    I have been using Ashwaganda for better sleep since I have difficulty staying asleep. Before starting Ashwaganda I used to sleep 3-4 hours a night. However, I was consuming 1,000 mg every night until it was making me sleepy all day long. So, after watching this video I understand those 1,000 mg was a very high dosage for me. Because of this, I have decided to have only 1 capsule of 500 mg, which according to this video, is not the highest dosage, but not the lowest. So after I experiment half the dosage, I will come back to this video and let you know how I managed the sleepiness during the day.

I haven't had any unpleasant side effects, I am happier, less stressed out and my libido is coming back. I am menopausal, and menopause has played havoc with my metabolism and my ability to sleep at night. Once I hit the 60 day mark, I will take a one month break and decide whether or not to continue to supplement. Other research I read too is that this herb is an adaptogen and a break from it is a good idea.

I cant remember the last time i had muscle cramps, muscle fatigue, energy deficiency etc.. I use it mostly as a post-workout mix. I cant confirm the mental benefits as im not taking it every day, but id say this thing works. Came across ashwa randomly and jumped to see if there were any medical trials, and was amazed by the results and jumped right on to buy it. When something is medically backed up, you shouldnt think twice to try it out. Same goes for creatine, its been proven to help in sports, so its also a no brainer.

    I've been on A for 3 mos now and here's what I've found/experienced:
    1) I noticed after only a few days that I stopped caring so much about what people think about me. This was a good thing because I had previously cared too much about how others might view me.
    2) I also noticed, however, that at 1200 mg, I stopped "caring" a little too much; so much so that I lacked motivation to work and really had to push myself to get things done. Almost like a general feeling of apathy. I scaled back to 600 mg, and found a good "not caring" balance, i.e., regained my motivation to take care of business.
    3) Despite "not caring," I still felt/feel as mentally sharp as ever, if not more so.
    4) Whereas before, I woke almost every night at 3 am (sometimes could fall back to sleep; sometimes could not), now, I sleep through the night...pretty much every night.
    5) Dreams are very interesting. Not better or worse, per se, just very different. It's like I go to a different world. And it's usually the same "different world" although the experiences, people, and surroundings are always different.
    6) I haven't necessarily noticed an improvement in memory, but I have noticed an increased ability to remember more dreams and in greater detail, which might be "an improvement in memory"...
    7) I've been on the same diet (keto) eating the same food for two years, and had been stuck at 152 lbs for the past 1.5 yrs (I'm actually trying to GAIN weight). After two mos on A, I gained SEVEN pounds...NOT fat but instead solid weight (good weight).
    8) I recommended A to my cousin, and he called me a week later thanking me after having his "best sleep in years."
    So yeah, whether you're looking for better sleep, interesting dreams, to put some meat on your bones, or just to not give a crappity crap, A might be for you.
