Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I felt I needed to write this caution because of reactions not only by myself but by my best friend as well. I took it last fall for about 5 - 7 days or so. At first I was much more focused. This was good! But by the end of the week, I had an episode. Something stressful was discussed, and I WAY overreacted. I actually had a meltdown. I was crying and talking about some things in the past and was berating myself, and just, WAY overreacting. It was intense and scared me and my husband. So I stopped taking it immediately. Fast forward to this summer. I called my friend, who I've known for 25 years, to catch up. While on the phone, she had a meltdown. Crying, just at the end of her rope! I told her to stop taking it, due to my own reaction to it in the past. 2 months later, this past week, I talked to her in the morning for an hour or so, and while on the phone, she takes her vitamins (she told me and I could hear her), which I'm assuming does not contain the GB. About 1 1/2 hrs later, I called her about something I had forgotten to mention, and she is having a meltdown. She's getting ready for work, crying her eyes out, saying she can't do it anymore, and some delusion about the neighbor woman doing all this cooking, and this guy wanting to marry her and she didn't want to marry him. This was a DELUSION based on some past events (except the cooking?) but no basis in current reality. All mixed up. I was freaked out. I told her I'd help her if anything came to pass, not to worry, we'd work through it. (We live 1000 miles apart.) As I got thinking about it, I thought 'Ginkgo!' I texted her -- are you taking and did you take on today? 'YES!' Today and for about a week. Man oh man. I told her to throw it away and NEVER take it again. It's like poison to us both. I related this detailed story so you can watch for this and maybe recognize how it looks if this happens to you or something you know taking it. She was feeling better lately, taking B12, etc, until nearly a week ago, when she started taking the GB and starting feeling worse. She is older and has some memory issues, so she forgot why she wasn't taking it. I'm glad I caught this. She would have ended up crazy from this stuff.
