I tried Ashwagandha and 3 mg time release melatonin taking Ashwagandha 400 mg at 8 pm (I take Azilect 1 mg 8 am) and melatonin at 10 pm. Instead of sleeping through TV I felt social and talkative not a bit anxious and sleep was restful and restorative. But next day found that after taking 5 mg Isradapine and later that afternoon 5 mg Lisinipril my BP had dropped and heart rate increased but I continued to feel better and gait improved. Will talk to my neurologist and primary physician to see what my next step should be But also must interject that I have 2 months to go with Forteo bone density injections (parathyroid hormone) and that may have precipitated my downward BP spiral.
