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.

Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect. Ashwaganda is considered a safe supplement for most people, and may help with your low thyroid. But as with anything new to your body, be sure to consult your doctor before starting.
Also, if you have any autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, it may increase your body's immune response, which can cause more symptoms.
