The last few days I tried it for the first time after seeing so much about it here.

 

The product I used is this

 

https://www.swansonv...mg-60-veg-caps Swanson Ultimate Ashwagandha.  250mg standardized to 5% withanolides.

 

I didn't want to take the full capsule at once so I opened it and put like a third of it or so in some water worrying a bit about a high dose.  I had eaten already and was taking this after.  I felt a good sense of relaxation for about 3.5 hours or so.  THen on the following day I had extra anxiety.

 

A few days later I took the rest.  FOr this one I didn't eat yet so I put it in some tea.  WIthin 35 minutes I felt very relaxed, but the sensation only lasted for about 45 minutes and then was gone.  The next day I had much more anxiety than usual.

 

I don't know too much about this herb but it definitely makes me feel something.  But with the anixiety the next day I don't know how often I will do.

Over the last few weeks I used it a few more times and wanted to update this.

 

Last week I took 125mg in tea and noticed a little relaxation.  The next day I took the rest and felt nothing.  A week later I took 250mg and felt nothing.

 

Perhaps tolerance builds very quickly, or maybe the first dose was just weird, or maybe the amount is not consistent

Does this happen to other people here with less pronounced effects every performance?

didnt you say you are doing meditation for that sort of thing?  why take ashwagandha anyway?
