Ashwagandha and social anxiety--How it has helped me.
Original post in this thread

I have been taking Ashwagandha for a week and have noticed a significant change in the way that I interact with people. Usually when I socialize, I experience a continuous fight or flight response (e.g. tight chest, racing heartbeat, fear, dread). After taking this pill for a week it feels like my social anxiety has improved 90%. I just can't believe how well this stuff is working for me. Does anyone else have a similar or disimilar experience that they would like to share?

Sorry, I have no frame of reference here. I'm like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know...
Anyway, I currently don't use it every day because of this unsubstantiated fear. There's some information on pubmed and some on scholar.google.com, but also some locked behind paywalls. I'm having a hard time piecing it together.
Might as well shoot the moon and ask /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb if he thinks Ashwaganda is better suited for daily or situational use.

Both, depending on the person. Daily use works well for some people, but cycling is always a good idea.
