The blunting is one of the intended effects of it. It is a mood stabilizer. If this doesn’t appeal to you then don’t take it; pretty straightforward. In Indian medicine it is traditionally used for stress relief and anxiety relief.

Yes because it is a acetylcholinesterase inhibitor same as the majority of herb/heavy metal. ACHE cause high acetylcholine level.

Tbh, a lot of us who are taking ashwaghanda for stress and anxiety or if someone has serious emotional regulation issues… a blunted state may be very much desired. Sounds almost like a tranquilization.
I’ve taken lots of brands of ashwaganda at various dosages. Never did any special breaks and never experienced anhedonia.
Maybe some people with severe anxiety are just too high strung to get that effect

Thanks again for spreading this message Lucas

[michael]

Fully agree, not worth the benefits in my opinion

[rikishi]

Is it the same as taking NAC too much?

[Volluble]

Can you speak on the possible liver damage done from the supplement?

[daslous]

One has to watch taking it with T4 thyroid meds. not good..

[hkondabeatz]

If you are going through a break up this stuff will help it will make you absolutely not care

[harputian]

Taking Ashwagandha now for more than 6 Months 3gr daily. Never experienced anything like Anhedonia.

[soaringeagle]

Very true, at least from my experience. I got depressed when I was taking it.

[curtmcgirt]

I've been taking it and I don't feel a thing 😕

[werollins]

Dear sir" The great majority eventually settle for a life less than the best.

[jason]

I find gynostemma tea to be a much better alternative

[christianpearce]

Does it only affect people negatively if they already have low levels of cortisol? Also do the negative symptoms stay after you stop taking it?

[hookbolt]

probably because it is too serotogenic in nature

[JZGreengo]

Now I’m on adderall looking into hormones, thanks SSRIs for throwing my body off orbit

[crockettstheme]

Definitely one of the most dangerous herbs on the market. Keep bringing attention to this 🙏
