Ashwagandha reactions/overdose???

[thedomesticdiva]

My husband just started a new therapy for his adrenals - Tonight he took 30 drops of ashwagandha (amount on tincture bottle) and theanine - about and hour later, he woke up with shuddering chills and feeling TERRIBLE. 
 

We have not heard back from his doctor, and even poison control could not help.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks

Does he react to other nightshades? That's all I could think of, it is generally considered non-toxic. I did read something saying people that are hyperthyroid can react.  Hope you've figured it out already!

Thanks for the info -

He still is reacting.  He feels like his hands and feet go to sleep when he tries to lay down, his body is all jumpy and squirrelly...  and he is having terrible, violent nightmares as he falls asleep.

Somewhere online it mentioned that the chills could have been an indication of an allergic reaction.

Thanks again...
