Ashwagandha - adverse effects
Original post in this thread

After much reading, i considered trying Ashwagandha to help with my feelings of anxiety/depression and somewhat lack of motivation. However, after trying it for 4~ days, i seem to experience more feelings of depression/anhedonia. Also makes me somewhat tired. So I'm simple wondering if anyone else had some adverse effects with this herb, could it go away? Being an adaptogen, maybe things will balance out. Had much more hope in this herb :/
I've been dosing 1 caplet of these in the morning (and some day 1 in the evening as well) http://www.iherb.com/Himalaya-Herbal-Healthcare-Ashwagandha-60-Caplets/3691
Also, I've been taking L-theanine and caffeine with it through out the day.

I seem to find that stacking it with L-theanine is too sedating. I only really add it in if I am doing a stimulant stack.
