Cistanche is great physically but causing blunt mood

I love the way Cistanche makes me feel physically! I mean it is for sure a very noticeable difference for me. More than tongkat and Primavie. But it seems to make me feel very blunt, sort of down, a little emotional, enjoy things less. This carries on to the next day. This feeling isn’t normal for me and only happens after taking cistanche. My wife took one and said she was crying for no reason at all. Not normal for her. I hear people saying ashwaganda makes them feel kind of the way I described (not me).
Can anyone relate? Is there anyway around this? The physical benefits I get feel amazing. I can hit the gym hard and more often, but the side effects are sucky.
Side note: I eat often and healthy (eggs, steak, fruits, veggies, fish, chicken, etc)

Exact same experience. No way around it. It's like taking an anti depressant. It takes the sparkle out of your life. Everything is "ok", nothing impacts you anymore.
In the beginning I thought it was kinda cool, but then I would say it made me more depressed than anything. Like I was trying to listen to music while being underwater.
Will never use it again.

Do you ever feel... like a plastic bag... drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
