as a person who has taken like 20 types of different ashwaghanda extracts powders and pills brands, i must say they all have the same nasty side effect. they are stimulatory and feel a bit like amphs and coke, but much much milder and natural (which the body has much better response to) but end up being nasty as synthetic stimulants with those comedown effects where you feel weaker and depressed after it has stopped working and need to redose and it doesnt really serve well to find alternative to counter act this. its especially bad when you combine it with other stimulants like coffee or god forbid actual coke or amphs. i have ended up super psychopathic when i mixed it with other stimulants or even antidepressants. I STILL CANT FIND COUNTER ACTIVE TO THE COMEDOWN, dear lord. this is annoying!
the guy who started this thread that this is cure all, should be warned and have had the title changed. very irresponsible and dangerous!
Used Ashwaganda for many years as part of my synergistic regimen, without any stimulant effect or comedown, but rather amazing results. Stimulants or Antidepressants I do avoid though like the plague, because on their own they can indeed leave you super psychotic.
Your assessment of Ashwagandha seems a little like FDA's of Kratom, which also might cause death, but only with other dangerous drugs combined.
that could be it, mixing these two with various things and causing bad reactions. but the thing is, how do you know which to mix it with? thats the problem with herbs that have potency, they might interfere with any medication you might need to use. for example kratom caused me severe liver disease i barely overcame, but how if not on its own, how do i know what was combined with it to cause this?
in both cases, i think these two herbs are potent and should be avoided in combinations with either meds or other herbs
