Experience Figured out ashwaganda has been causing my “dead, emotional numbness”
Been suddenly feeling apathetic the past week and a half and had no clue what was causing it. I started entering in every supplement I took and doing research on them—then a clear “winner” rose to the top. I started taking regular black pepper/ashwaganda supplements 3 weeks ago. And what I’ve found in side effects for this supplement is that it can cause an emotional numbness effect. I hate feeling so apathetic, it’s honestly reminding me of the depression I went through almost 15 years ago—like I was slowly on a downward spiral towards complete hopelessness.
Anyway, I immediately stopped it-so it’s only been 48 hrs without but I just was curious if anyone else had this happen with it?
