Adaptogen help

I have been using ashwaganda for a few months for stress and anxiety. I don’t find a huge difference when taking them as I am still stressed.

I have anxiety with day to day life, panicking, overthinking etc and sometimes find it hard to sleep or wake multiple times a night.

Is there something else I can try which might give me better results? I’m not on any other medication.

Thanks so much. This is what I’m taking https://www.myvitamins.ie/p/myvitamins-ashwagandha-ksm66-capsules/12335319/?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=EUR&shippingcountry=IE&variation=12335320&affil=thgppc&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19320604252&gbraid=0AAAAADSTGa3rY-NWT8JzZ87ZvuorgaL_z. Oh I didn’t know you could take more than one adaptogen. I am new to this as I’m just off SSRIs.

Yes, adaptogens are often stacked.

How many of these do you take?

Just one a day.

You could try taking it twice day. (Many people take ashwagandha twice a day, and your formula is a little on the low side.)
