Strange side effects
I took this daily for about a week and while I was taking it I have to say I had very little interest in food and my mood was maybe more positive than usual. However, after a few days my muscles became very twitchy and shaky and my body felt trembly and strange. It started with my hands and arms, then my torso and finally my legs. After I stopped taking saffron things improved gradually over the course of about a week and I am pretty much back to normal. It was scary because for awhile I didn't realize it was a possible side effect of the saffron and was having OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME moments. I can't say for sure that the supplement caused this and possibly I am just allergic to the product but I wanted to mention it in case other people have this experience.
