I did try it, I found it great for reducing overt sensations of anxiety/stress, but it had a major effect on thyroid function, dropping my TSH to near zero( 0.07) the week of progress check blood draw with my endocrinologist. Don't take it without understanding and monitoring its effects on thyroid function. I only took it at bedtime for about a week.

Dear,

Highly appreciate sharing your experience with everyone.

My thyroid was removed and currently taking levothyroxine and planning to take the Ashwagandha to reduce my depression and anxiety!

Based on your feedback I have two concerns.

1) Was your thyroid removed?

2) Did you check your tsh level before taking the Ashwagandha? If yes how much it was?

Great thanks.
