I think Bacopa makes me sleepy

Posted by Hombre on December 16, 2010, at 22:34:41

I'm trying out Bacopa Monniera in the form of Bacopin extract, ~150mg per dose. I'm not sure if it helps with memory or cognition, but it might be causing drowsiness and spaciness. If I had to guess why, perhaps it interacts with my meds and affects serotonin levels.

This has happened to me in the past with high dose niacin. What that tells me is that if I weren't on meds, I'd consider taking high dose niacin and bacopa for anxiety.

I'm still not 100% sure about the bacopa, and maybe I can use it PRN like a benzo.

Anyone else notice sedation when taking bacopa with ADs and/or AAPs?
