First @Ninjastar@Bowens@anon4362788 and anyone else that is a mod (I know I’m missing at least one and I’m really sorry for forgetting your username) I’m not sure what category I should have put this under so if I messed up I’m sorry and please feel free to move it to the appropriate category
Soooo I’ve been taking 250 mg a day every morning of the supplement Ashwagandha and it’s been doing wonders for me!
My paranoia is down, my thinking has slowed to a more manageable rate and I finally feel like I can relax and to top it all off my mood is stable and more uplifted! My mom last week noticed my speech has slowed down to a normal rate instead of the high speed rate it usually is! I’m grateful for this stuff! I can slow down and I’m not as quick to anger! I finally feel better mentally! I hope this is a turning point for me!
Yeah, ashwagandha is a must for me as well. I had kinda forgotten how great it was but just started taking it again a few days ago. Completely relaxes me. Takes away my social anxiety, takes away my depression and anxiety, and helps with my negatives to a degree. I’ve never taken it long term cause the effects are so good, they scare me. Cause sometimes too much of something good can have bad consequences down the road. But I might keep it part of my daily stack and see how it goes. And see if the effects don’t eventually wear off or something.
I just finsihed a run of taking ashwaganda for about a month. I’m not sure what it did for me. It may have helped calm my mind. It’s not always easy to tell when I take several supplements at the same time.
I see, it seems to not be a standardized extract. But I understand the supplement hustle. When you’re already paying a lot for so many other supplements it’s hard to justify buying into one more supplement, especially if it’s an expensive version.
I might try a more high-end supplement in the future. I finished a stint of ashwaganda and bacopa now. And this month I’m switching to lions mane and cat’s claw.
Now with lions mane, I gotta warn you, if you’re buying a cheap version, you’re mostly paying for startch filler. Not to sound like a supplement marketer, but the one that seems to be the only standardized and trusted version is the amyloban. It’s very expensive though. I tried it, and it mostly seemed to lower my anxiety. But good luck.
Yeah i saw that at swanson homepage. It retailed for about 67$ for one bottle. I want to try it, but in addition to the price I would have to pay a hefty toll to get it into my country. The price would probably be double that after toll and expenses.
I ended up buying a version that was half price of that from a local retailer. I haven’t tested it yet though. I got a cold right now and I’m taking it easy on the supplements.
Well I hope the cheaper one still does you some good. I have some cheap stuff laying around, and even I think it sort of does something, not sure though.
I just tried one dose of this and about 5 hours later I am feeling better but am now hallucinating, do not touch this stuff! I am hoping it will wear off and stop soon. I feel like I am on some kind of acid trip.
