I tried ashwaganda and 5htp and it did nothing for me - I do hope it helps you. I actually am cleaning out the house and just threw away my bottles of it a few days ago. I mentioned cannabis flower because I thought you meant you wanted something right this minute today and wanted it to work as soon as you take it. Often the herb/ashw/ stuff takes time to build up in your system. Also I was hoping it would help with insomnia rather than stress so that might also be why I didn't see any results
