Ashwagandha Has worked great for me , I've cut my Paxil dose in half and feel better than I did on a full dose
Gunsmith - whats the specific brand you take?
Can you expand on how it has helped? Doesn't have to be terribly detailed...a better sense of well-being? Less stress/anxiety? Easier time relaxing? Thanks.I take Vitamin Shoppe brand 470mg ashwagandha extract.
I take one with breakfast and one after my last meal
It's helped me and three friends out ALOT.

Funny thing...about 3 years ago I was in an airport and this older woman started talking to me (out of the blue, she was just sitting near me), and it turned out she ran some homeopathic clinic/spa in Jersey. She told me that if there was anything I should look into taking or researching, it was Ashwagandha (I wrote it down at the time). To be honest I never looked into it much, it was just more homeopathic hoo-ha at the time, but in the last year or so I've seen it's name popping up a lot amongst the BBing community, and am definitely intrigued.
Thanks, I may have to give it a try. I don't have the more-serious conditions you speak of (PTSD), but I do have the same anxiety in social/crowded situations that you speak of...just get annoyed if I'm in places with a lot of people, especially since it always seems like everyone in those situations is clueless and/or stupid (I'd rather pay more somewhere else than go to Walmart lol). Causes a lot of stress and anger that is completely uncalled for and unwarranted, so maybe Ashwagandha can help a bit.
i take 500mg ashwagahanda morning and evening. stuff is amazing. really does keep you calm. i am using the extract also.
