Has anyone taken ashwagandha before?

I am trying to buy some ashwagandha for mood regulation. Most people on the internet (YouTube) seem to use it for anxiety and stress. There is a lot of mixed messages online about the side effects and intended effects.
I heard it can trigger anhedonia and lethargy- I’d rather not take it if that is a possibility.

please share if you have had it…why you use it? the brand you used and its side effects.

*Doesn’t have to do with personal development - I thought this was the most appropriate section to ask

I take it once in a while. I have it both in a pill and powder form. Mix it into my smoothie.

Do you feel any different? Or are people exaggerating the benefits?

I think it helps but it’s not a cure. Factors like, level of stress, overall health etc determine how will it may or may not work for you.

I just don’t want to resort to pharmaceutical drugs. I’ll have to try it out. Thank you abaayo

Really?? how much mg would that be in a day?
I was hoping that it would be some sort of help for mood regulation. Did you take it for anxiety or stress?
