Do you follow Ray Peat's guidelines? Did you feel strong serotonin effects while using ashwagandha?Experimented with just Ashwaganda
Was there any change in water retention?Some of them yes. No. Feel great. Very grounded yet energized.
Ashwaganda does effect 5ht1a signaling and 5ht2a as well. It’s also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, as are most of these herbs. It’s linked to GABA receptors somehow. Don’t think it will augment DA on it’s own. Only Flowering Quince and Catuaba Bark are legit Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors. Rhodiola is Dopaminergic to some extent.
Never had a serotonin effect from ashwagandha before. I had the exact opposite actually. Improved my digestion obliterated all feelings of learned helplessness. It is a great herb!
