Really excited for this
I am going to be completely honest here. I had to stop using SNS S&A supplement because of this exact reason. My stress/anxiety symptoms seemed to be relieved from taking this for around 2 weeks but after about a week straight of using it at 3 caps/day i began noticing an intense fatigue that no stim or sleep could resolve. I knew right away that is probably has to do with the Sensoril but I kept taking the product for a few more days hoping that the fatigue would subside but unfortunately it did not even with 8+ hours of sleep with no other supplements being taken.Since I got back from the family reunion I have been having bad unshakable fatigue. It could be a combination of things like lack of sleep catching up on me, the alcohol from the weekend (since I don’t drink often anymore) or maybe the product is starting to have that effect on me.
For example on Tuesday morning I tried getting a quick workout in before work. I took 1.5 scoops of Prolific (around 250mg caffeine) and feel asleep in my car as soon as I got to the gym. I slept for 30mins then woke up and left for work. I added more caffeine throughout the day, but it didn’t do much.
It could be tolerance to the stimulating effect of the rhodiola (common problem with any rhodiola product and the ingredient I believe initially offsets lethargy from the ashwagandha, bacopa and l-theanine). I had the same issue. I've found this product works best on an as-needed basis for that reason.I am going to be completely honest here.

It is unfortunate because the product definitely works. I just must not respond well to Sensoril because I have no issues taking KSM.
Looks like I will be going back to the drawing board to find something. Will probably try combining KSM with Kanna next.
Good point - I was considering that as well. Are you having better results taking this on an as-needed basis?It could be tolerance to the stimulating effect of the rhodiola (common problem with any rhodiola product and the ingredient I believe initially offsets lethargy from the ashwagandha, bacopa and l-theanine).

Yes. I took about 2 weeks off before trying it again and the great results were back. Now, instead of daily, I'll just use it when I really need help with anxiety and improved focus (like before a meeting at work).Good point - I was considering that as well.

Perfect, thank you for the feedback! I will try using it again only as needed.Yes. I took about 2 weeks off before trying it again and the great results were back. Now, instead of daily, I'll just use it when I really need help with anxiety and improved focus (like before a meeting at work).
I was thinking for me it is a multitude of things, but also the bacopa. When I used it in the past it seem to have its grips on me after about 3 weeks of use and makes it very difficult to get up and get things done.I am going to be completely honest here.

I have tried to keep it at 2 caps per day (although lately it has been 3 caps per day) to prevent having to take any breaks. I really don’t want to ever get off this stuff! Life is better without anxiety. I will continue to monitor it and if the extreme fatigue gets too much I may have to take a small break (hopefully not though).Yes.

It seems we have a common theme here and that 1-2 caps daily is possibly optimal, or as needed use. Now that I think about it, 300mg/day of a 50% Bacopa would be my absolute limit before I would feel like I was given a body and brain tranquilizer. It’s certainly my first thought when you guys mention this issue as opposed to the other ingredients that I find much more forgiving.I was thinking for me it is a multitude of things, but also the bacopa. When I used it in the past it seem to have its grips on me after about 3 weeks of use and makes it very difficult to get up and get things done.
We suggest using once capsule twice per day and only increasing dosage on an as needed basis. From what you’re saying, it doesn’t seem like you needed to go above 2 caps per day, which most people don’t.I am going to be completely honest here.

The dosage of Bacopa in Stress & Anxiety Support is very reasonable and that dosage has been used in clinical studies for 12+ weeks. Everyone responds differently of course but I would be surprised if it’s the Bacopa at a 2 x per day dose.I was thinking for me it is a multitude of things, but also the bacopa.

I really don’t think it’s the product causing the fatigue, especially at 2 caps per day. I think that some of it for you may unfortunately tie back to the lack of quality sleep situationI have tried to keep it at 2 caps per day (although lately it has been 3 caps per day) to prevent having to take any breaks.

I had that same snake in green as a kid! Think I won it at a fair or amusement park. Was one of my favorites (mostly to drag through god knows what haha... prob has Ebola by now)This morning was my kids orientation at the new school. We meet with both of their teachers and we liked them so far.
This morning I woke up and took 1 cap of SAS. I took a second cap at 11am.
Here is a pic of the boys before leaving for school for the first time and them at the school...

Ha! I wrap that snake around his body and pick him up with the snake when we’re battling hahaI had that same snake in green as a kid! Think I won it at a fair or amusement park. Was one of my favorites (mostly to drag through god knows what haha... prob has Ebola by now)
Yes sir! It was great! By the end of the day he was jumping in the pool and swinging under water all the way to the shallow end stairs by himself.Proud moment
Stuff like this is just awesome to watch. It’s like evolution in fast forward haYes sir! It was great! By the end of the day he was jumping in the pool and swinging under water all the way to the shallow end stairs by himself.
Absolutely! Just Friday he was sinking, swallowing the pool water, forgetting to use his arms or his legs. Then one day everything clicked and he is swimming like champ. His confidence was way up by the end of the day. It’s pretty cool to be there and be able to watch and help him during it all.Stuff like this is just awesome to watch. It’s like evolution in fast forward ha
always good to hear from someone "uninformed" or just not on the forums reading other feedback... interested to ehar his thoughts for sureMy brother is calling me tonight with an update since he started SAS a week ago. I will post what his initial thoughts are.
As you mentioned before, I think it would be quite difficult for anyone to discern the benefits or side effects of any anxiety support supplement within the first month of concurrently starting Zoloft. Maybe he will surprise us though, and it will be interesting to hear.My brother is calling me tonight with an update since he started SAS a week ago. I will post what his initial thoughts are.
He didn’t call tonight. I will text him tomorrow and let you guys know.always good to hear from someone "uninformed" or just not on the forums reading other feedback... interested to ehar his thoughts for sure
He probably has the shytsHe didn’t call tonight. I will text him tomorrow and let you guys know.
I mean, that’s usually when I do most of my phone things haha. Calls and whatnotHe probably has the shyts
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing.I've been using S&AS for a week or two now since getting it. My new favorite.
I do 2 in the AM before leaving for work, and 2 when I get home. With this stuff, and changing over to tea from coffee, the calmness (which also gives the mind clarity) is awesome. Glad I found your thread, thanks for turning me on to it!
I also keep a little mini Tupperware thing with some in there on my desk at work for the extra stressful days if needed.
I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on how the Z is treating him til now too as a baselineMy bother called and said today was his first day starting it. He also said he has been on Zoloft for 3 months (not 3 weeks like I thought he said). So I guess that is enough time to have a feel for the medication. I still wish we didn’t have that big variable in there so he could really feel this stuff working on him. It’s possible he wouldn’t have even needed that medication if he had tried this first. Anyway, that’s just my thoughts on it. He said he will give me updates on how things are going. I will post them up when I get them.

Well the good news is that by the three month mark, you essentially have a clear understanding of how you are reacting to any SSRI. I think he will definitely be able to see how S&A augments his new baseline...whatever that is.My bother called and said today was his first day starting it.

It is unfortunate timing that he was not able to try S&A first, as I don’t think any of us like to be “dependent” on medications. They don’t have to be a forever thing though, and people get weaned off them all the time. Under medical supervision of course
Other times, people feel like they just stop working or they develop a bothersome side effect and switch to a different one. I originally stopped Paxil only because I developed bruxism that was quite problematic. Otherwise, it was awesome! Not long after stopping that is when I went through everything under the sun- at that time. Also, I kind of wanted to try them all so I would know I was taking what got along with me the best.
I am too I will ask a little more about that.I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on how the Z is treating him til now too as a baseline
