I am not sure how frequently I took it. I had some bad experiences with increased chemical sensitivity with it, which at first I did not understand and thought it was licorice causing severe anxiety. So I would take it for a few days, have a bad experience, not take it for awhile, try again, etc. I finally figured out what exposures to avoid when I took it - and it must have been around that time I got some niacinamide and started experimenting with that. I am sure I took it more than 1 week per month total, at least during some periods. I am not sure why Andy says one week per month. Maybe it was stimulating my adrenals, but didn't feel that way to me. I felt brighter but immensely calmed - that could have been the ashwagandha, too, which I definitely took every day for a good six months or so. I was fairly dependent on the ashwagandha and had to wean off it. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
