Spent $250 on a cortisol supplement stack for my anxiety and it made me feel wired for 2 weeks straight
I bought this adaptogen blend from a naturopath after reading it could help with stress hormones, but instead of calming down my heart was racing like I drank 4 coffees. Has anyone else had a bad reaction to ashwagandha or rhodiola mixes like this?

Dude I tried a similar rhodiola blend from Whole Foods called "Calm Focus" or whatever and ended up cleaning my entire apartment at 2am with zero chill. My neighbor banged on the wall cause I was rearranging furniture at 3 in the morning. $60 down the drain for what felt like a meth-lite experience. Your $250 stack is next level though, that's like paying for a panic attack in installments.

L-theanine with my coffee was the game changer for me.

Man I feel your pain @ivan774, that whole "calm energy" thing is such a marketing trap. Best advice I got was to start with half the dose on a weekend morning just to see how your body reacts. Always better to underdo it than end up wide awake at 4am reorganizing your sock drawer...
