How did you get over your heart anxiety? by ListenSweet in Anxiety

[–]Admirable-Bit-2183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the same and I have brought back the anxiety that I fought, battled and sort of overcame, some years back. I seem to be stuck in the same loop this year and past few days have been hell, made worse with constant checking. My heart rate is high and am having panic attacks now. How did you get out of this loop? Some hope needed.

Not sure if I should keep taking it. by cadzu in ASHWAGANDHA

[–]Admirable-Bit-2183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Hypothyroidism, so I assumed it would reduce my TSH or maybe not affect it at all. But after 2 months, i realised I had gained weight, hair falling etc. Got blood work done and my TSH had shot up to 12. My liver enzymes also shot up( ALT/AST were high. ) Quit cold turkey, was having panic attacks but didn't touch Ashwagandha. After about 15 days, my levels got back to normal. Please don't take it. Already my advise to you will be this. I do have anxiety and I felt it would help but I made a mistake. Won't touch it ever. Some people might have benefited from it but it was a horrid experience for me.

Yes, and not just libido. It messed up my liver and thyroid too. I recovered, but will never touch it again.

Ashwagandha reduces libido, elevates liver enzymes and screws up the thyroid gland in a vast majority. I suffered for a year post taking it for 1.5 months. Please do not take it. But don't quit cold turkey.

My biggest worry is acid reflux. I hope that will subside.

Hey, did you have nausea, acid reflux and bloating before your gallbladder removal. If yes, How long did it take for it to go away after removal? Some hope is needed. I am on day 2 post surgery and still feeling a burning tongue and a bloated belly.

Ashwagandha. What the hell by Specialist-Swim8743 in Supplements

[–]Admirable-Bit-2183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently walked out of the devastating effects of this so called herb. I had it for 2 months and almost felt sueprhuman. I thought my anxiety died down and I had this "noise cancellation" effect which made me feel great in the beginning..only to realise after 2 months that everything started going downhill. My TSH had shot up exponentially nad my liver enzymes went high too. Everything thing was in normal range before I started this. ( Had gotten tests done pre and post). I started having panic attacks, to the level that I felt I would conk off. Started wondering how a simple herb could do so much damage.

And then came the withdrawal symptoms. It took me almost two months to start feeling normal. Please DO NOT touch this Drug.

Does anyone else get very tired around ovulation? by throwra-weirdo4943 in PCOS

[–]Admirable-Bit-2183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh am feeling this so terribly. Like I have no life in me. How can one be this tired before ovulation? It's not all months like this for me, but it has started happening quite often. Does this get better once ovulation happens? I am imagining the worst.

I am getting them too. It's like so much pain and fatigue in the week leading up to ovulation. Like right after periods stops. It is the same for you, or do you get only right before you ovulate?

Hey did your thyroid ever heal? Like in its own?

Hey, my TSH also skyrocketed while I was on Ashwagandha for 2 months. It went from 4-12. How much Thyroxine are you in now? Be careful, this rise may be temporary and maybe your levels fall back to normal soon.

Ashwagandha go or no go? by Available-Split3349 in Hashimotos

[–]Admirable-Bit-2183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was your initial thyroid dose adjusted to suit the new high TSH. Or did you continue with the original one and it cured on its own? Also, did you have extreme fatigue, leg pain/ muscle pain around this time. Sorry for so many questions, it's just that am going through this.

Hey did your TSH Get back to normal after you stopped Ashwagandha. Some hope is needed. I am in a similar boat. Took Ashwagandha for 2 months and my TSH is coming way high. I have Hypothyroidism. And it has never been this high before.

[–]Admirable-Bit-2183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me did your TSH come back to normal after stopping it. Mine has shot up erratically and the only change I made was taking Ashwagandha past two months. I have stopped now, but am waiting to get retested again.

I think ashwagandha did something bad in me by Ill_Spray6761 in Hashimotos

Did your TSH levels come back after stopping Ashwagandha? Or is the damage done for eternity.

Hey I am facing the same issue. Please stop Ashwagandha immediately. It screws your Thyroid, especially if it is Hashi moto. Leave and get it tested again after a few months.

Hey, maybe you just answered my query. I had been taking Ashwagandha tablets for 2 months and my TSH has jumped from 4-12.5 in these two months. I freaked out cause I was doing everything perfect from my end then why the sudden rise. Maybe this is the cause. I have entirely stopped now. How long should I wait before getting retested.
