Anybody got anhedonia from a single dose of ashwagandha?
Hi, I took ashwagandha (sensoril) many times without any issues. I don't take it regularly, maybe once every other week as a sleep aid or against stress. But last week I took a single dose (125mg) and the next day I started feeling very off
I'm not sure if ashwagandha is really the cause. My other candidates are stress, started taking st johns wort 2 wks ago (stopped after getting the symptoms but they persist), sleep deprivation , sedentary lifestyle, diet choices, cortisol cycle disruption, or a combination of some of the above. The next day I started having very strong anhedonia/emotional blunting (not sure which one), but 90% of my desires and emotions are GONE and so is 90% of my libido
I was wondering if anybody got this before? How long was it until you felt mostly normal again?
