Negative and mixed experiences
“I sleep better. I'm more relaxed. Stress is lower... it caused me terrible depression that lifted once I stopped.”
“My five year old daughter fell beside me and I didn't feel empathy towards her. I stopped taking that shit.”
“Completely believe this. It's literally impossible for me to feel panic/anxiety when I'm fully on Ashwagandha. It's a good life.”
“I tried ashwaganda one night and it gave me so much energy I stayed up until 5 am. Others love it, but did not work for me.”
“I've already taken turkesterone, fenugreek, tribulus, and ashwagandha consistently but it didn't have much of an effect to be honest.”
“Ashwagandha is optional and it did not really do a lot for me.”
