Ashwagandha - Helped with Anxiety and Sleep - JoshAllen - Nov 23, 2025
I was really struggling with my anxiety that I am not medicated for.
Was taking a moderate amount every day for 2 weeks and in that time it helped with my anxiety a lot and sleep.
I was able to fully sleep and feel well rested in the morning. For my anxiety, I don't feel my heart pounding hard when stressed.
My only problem I have with it in the 2 weeks, and not 100% sure if it is related, but it was really messing with my head and making it foggy.
I could have also just a head cold or something, so I am just taking a break before starting again.

How much did you take, in which form and did you take it at night time. I have noticed those kind of symptoms with herbal meds.

300mg which I believe is the recommended amount. I was also only taking it once a day but says you can take twice.

Panax Ginseng is also awesome, works the same

I have also had good luck with ashwagandha! I helped me a lot during a very stressful time in my life.
It is best to cycle it, i used to do 8 weeks on 2 weeks off. I think some people do other cycle periods, i'm not sure though.

I've heard somewhere that you have to take it for a longer period of time to really feel the effects, what's your experience with this?

I haven't personally noticed anything really yet besides the reduced anxiety and better sleep.
