- i tried some ginsana a few weeks ago. i noticed almost no difference at
- all. i think it's most effective if you're actually "physically" tired.
- i was mostly "mentally" exhausted... if that makes any sense to you guys
- or not, i don't know.
- there were two things that i noticed, though. for the the first few days,
- if i took two capsules, right before i went to bed, i would wake up almost
- exactly four ours after i took them. that stopped happening after the
- first few days. also, if i took the two tablets in the morning, that
- evening, i would get unsubsantiated headaches. granted i get headaches
- all the time, usually that's because i've slept too much, or because i
- haven't eaten all day. although i'm not sure if the ginsana was causing
- my headaches, i can certainly say that they weren't due to the things that
- usually cause them... so i must assume it was the ginsana.
- i still have more than half the box left. i've stopped taking it. on the
- box it says that it's not habit forming. seeing that i've discontinued its
- use, i can personally verify that the claim on the box is correct- or at
- least in my case.
