Re: I think Bacopa makes me sleepy

I can imagine that bacopa could be more stimulating for others. I'm taking three different medications at once, so herbs and supplements will be magnified and their effects will be somewhat different.

I think I could get used to the mild sedation of bacopa, although I feel it may have the potential to make me feel flat. It does seem to block out extraneous thoughts. I imagine it'd be good for anxiety and/or ADHD type symptoms.

I think i'll take it somewhat regularly for at least a few months. Like morgan said, I think 12 weeks is where they noticed significant increases in learning and memory. I think it might actually work to undo the stress-related changes to the hippocampus that result from depression and anxiety. Learning and memory get severely disrupted, at least in my opinion. I might also get into ginkgo later on to add to the effect.
