Bacopa Experience FYI

Posted by psychobot5000 on April 19, 2010, at 19:34:06

Tried Bacopa for about a week lately, Planetary Herbals Brand, 225-450mg per dose, 1-2 doses per day, for anhedonic depression with inattentive ADD-like symptoms. Am stopping because it has flattened my affect. Observations:

1) Feels like a stimulant, and is bad for sleep when taken in evening (thus, most of my experience with it has been one dose in the morning, or two doses, the second taken in the early afternoon or so)

2) Possibly buoys mood when taken

3) Possibly leads to lousy mood or irritability when the dose wears off late in the day

4) Flattened affect by 3-5 days of use.


I do not intend to use this herb again, because of the aforementioned flattening of affect. Who wants that?
