Has anyone here ever used these herbs/adaptogens listed below? And if so can you give me your experience. I’ve read amazing things about these adaptogens and how some people have completely cured their anxiety and depression even more so than taking SSRI drugs.

-Rhodiola Rosea

-Holy Basil

-Maca

-Ashwagandha

-Muira puama

Any input would greatly be appreciated!

Frankly, I have been under a significant amount of stress in regards to work. Staying up all night working has taken a serious toll on my hormonal balance. My cortisol levels have skyrocketed and my dopamine and serotonin levels have decreased. I'm spaced out.

I assumed this thread was going to be about politics.

That being said, smoke weed, you'll be fine.

You can get L-Theanine at any health store. I got some a while back and I'm pretty sure they helped me out. The stuff I got came in a bottle like this. I just chew one when I'm feeling stressed and in a short bit I would feel relaxed.

See I tried this stuff and it didn't do anything for me. Maybe its more placebo based. Interested to see if any of that other stuff works. I want to get into smoking weed, but it just irritates my lungs so much.

How do you know that? Who established your normal levels?

You might just try putting yourself in a situation where you don't have to stay up all night.

I have had cortisol blood tests. I have had better sleep and meditate often but it still does not seem to help as much as I want it to.

I’m really interested in adaptogens and aphrodisiac herbs. They not only make you feel good if taken in the right dosages but they help normalize hormonal levels.

The problem is I took a very high dose of Maca before I went fishing with my grandpa and I was popping boners every other minute. I would use the fishing map to hide it in the car so he wouldn’t see

That sucks. I'd go talk to an endocrinologists or two, see what they have to say.

Oscar Bluth loves Maca root, you should ask him for some of his.
