SSRI and Ashwagandah
Im one to never write a review. Ive been on and off lexapro for 6 years now, only to take myself off due to the side effects. Dont get me wrong lexapro worked wonders for me once it kicked in and after that first month of misery. Once you stop taking it tho, your symptoms come back like before and worse! its a never ending cycle of ADDICTION! Todays only my 7th day of taking this supplement and today i can tell you i haven't felt this Calm and collective in a while! I have talked with more stranger today than i have the past 2 months. I had pretty bad social anxiety to the point where i was in fight or flight mode "Covid didnt help" and would avoid a social situation. Im more assertive and racing thoughts of how i thought people think of me weren't there today! I don't feel the need to have a drink for a social situation since thats the only thing that would calm me down. First time taking this supplement my body did have a weird reaction, similar to taking an anti depressant my heart was racing and felt very warm with heightened anxiety, But i think thats because its a totally new substance entering our bodys and needs to adjust for it. If you feel any effects the first few days, take it at night and ride through it! give it some time to work/accumulate so your body can adjust dont give up! Funny situations that i would normal shrug at i would actually give a LOL. When i talk to people i can look them in the eye without feeling weird. Im more focused on whats going on around me in the moment than focusing on the anxiety i am feeling. My goofy happy self showed itself for the first time in over a year. i actually wanted to do things outside the house and any big gatherings of people i didnt fear anymore. I rode by a local lake and normally i would of just wanted to go home and just watch TV but i stopped and talked to the fisherman to see if he caught anything and how he was doing! As i write this my brother is packing the truck with fishing rods, I just had to write a review because todays the first day i finally lived OUTSIDE MY SHELL. Im currently taking 1 tablet for now mid afternoon around 12-1 after lunch. i have been taking magnesium for over a month Complex B vitamins, Fish oil and eat pickles daily for gut health that is considered 80% correlation to your mental health. But once i added Ashwagandah a week ago Im mind blown how good this product is working and how much better i feel. I feel like my old self and i hope this continues to work.
