A few years a go I tried Ginkgo for a few months but did not notice any benefit.

I currently take American Ginseng every day to help with altertness and sexual side effects from Lexapro. And I also take Ashwagandha as needed if I need to feel more calm. They both work to some degree.

Also check on the alternatives board. They have a lot of info on herbs.
