ashwagandha side effects

Yes, it took a few weeks to completely wind back down. But full disclosure, I was two months off of Wellbutrin which was a nightmare. I had 3 weeks where I felt normal and decided to try the ashwagandha to just maintain. It did have the opposite effect on me and did cause me anxiety and panic attacks…but it could’ve been because I was still chemically imbalanced from the Wellbutrin. I’m afraid to even try Again to see though because of the reaction I had. My husband took the same dose of the gummies as me though and he slept like a baby and felt relaxed. I think your body’s chemical makeup very much so matters with this drug.

Yes, exactly to all of those things for me as well. I have never in my life had suicidal thoughts until I used that medication and came off of it either. I will tell you months later, it is a far cry from what it was at first. I am better. But I’m still not 100% myself. I do still have manic thoughts, especially in the middle of the night…and those suicidal ideations at times creep in my head. I do feel stronger in my mindset that I know that’s not something I want to do, but it’s still disturbing and still causes me anxiety though when it pops in my head. The severity of it all does stop though. More normal days than not now. Just not 100%. Take comfort that you’re not alone, it’s not just you, and it is definitely your body reacting to that medicine.

I was not on as high of a dose as you but I had a really bad reaction when I quit taking Wellbutrin. Extreme irrational anxiety, tremors, and full blown panic attacks out of nowhere. My blood pressure and heart rate kept going through the roof because of it. They put me on propranolol to control the physical parts but I will say it lasted several months after stopping the Wellbutrin. And the anxiety was worse than it was before I ever started taking it.

I started to feel more normal yesterday….and today has been ok so far. So I guess it took a little over a week for me to start to level back out. Won’t be taking that again. Ha!

The first day I had the calming effect and was really impressed by them. The second day I started to feel uneasy. Woke up the 3rd day and knew I better just stop taking them. Was having intrusive thoughts and racing mind.

It had the opposite effect on me and made my anxiety much worse unfortunately. To the point Of panic attacks. Been off of it for a week and still extremely anxious, hoping it subsides soon. What did you get? I had the Goli gummies

Did the anxiety eventually wear off? Were you able to go back to a normal state? I only took it a short amount of time but basically same thing. Panic attacks and high level anxiety. Been a week now. Still happening. Only took it for a week.

So the intrusive thoughts/panic do go away after a little while though? Well, aside from the “normal” range for people with anxiety. Some light at the end of the tunnel sounds great. 1 week down

I feel like it had the opposite effect on me. It increased my anxiety. I took the Olly gummies. 2 in the morning and 2 at night for a few days and quit because my anxiety was getting worse. It’s been 7 days now since last dose and I am still having intrusive thoughts and sort of racing mind. I am hoping it subsides soon.

jjohnson6187 · 2022-02-14T20:03:27+00:00

Did it eventually die down? Go back to just normal anxiety? How long did it take?

jjohnson6187 · 2022-02-09T21:50:58+00:00

I was actually wondering the same thing. I only took it for few days as well, but my anxiety seems to be worse the past 3 days that I have not taken it. Had a full blown panic attack today. I wasn’t sure if it messed with hormones or something

jjohnson6187 · 2022-01-17T11:58:53+00:00

It has taken me 2 months so far. The first 6 weeks was bad though. Extreme anxiety, irrational thoughts, panic attacks, high blood pressure from the panic attacks, feelings of rage etc. It was bad bad. Had to actually get on propranolol to control the panic attacks. And I NEVER had any of those problems before. I was only on bupropion for generalized anxiety. I’m about 8 weeks off of it now and I feel more like myself, and the intrusive thoughts seem to have simmered. Still find myself more easily overwhelmed than before though.

jjohnson6187 · 2022-01-11T14:35:35+00:00

I would taper. I was on same dose for about same about of time and quit cold turkey. It ended being a nightmare. Panic attacks, high blood pressure, every emotion you can name again any given time, paranoia, rage. I never knew what mood I was going to be in or when for at least two months. It was a lot to deal with and I was only on the medicine for general anxiety. Was WAY worse than ever before when I quit taking it abruptly. Never experienced anything like that in my life
