Laughing Are you implying that I am not making sense?  I'm not surprised if I don't.  It is a hard thing to describe, plus I am fasting today and I don't feel as though my brain is functioning correctly.

I started taking the herb ashwagandha around 3-4 weeks ago.  Initially I felt fantastic taking it, but then I noticed sometimes I had heart palpitations and when I would forget to take it, I felt very tired and my legs and arms would hurt/ache.  I also felt irritable.  I compare this to how I would feel after trying an energy drink and then experiencing the 'crash' afterwards.

I don't like feeling dependant on anything so I want to quit taking the ashwagandha, but I'd rather avoid these unpleasant sensations if possible.

Feeling worse now, then I felt before I tried the herb in the first place makes me wish I had never tried it in the begining as I felt pretty good before trying it, I just needed some extra energy is all.

But now I feel as though my body has become dependant on it.  I was hoping I would find someone else who would be familiar with this.

If at least I could get some suggestions for things to take to help with inflammation that would help with the achiness, I think I could manage the other problems such as energy and irritability.
