I thought you had just hit a bunch of letters on the keyboard. I am sorry. Never heard of it. Will let you know what I find out.
Here is what the brain trust had to say about it in brief. You can run a search over there and find out more. Looks interesting. But so do a lot of supplements.

thanks, cardinal. but that seems like all the same crap i've been finding... always vague in what it truly does and how. oh well, just thought it might be of some use during pct b/c after 8 weeks of test e/ eq and hard training, i'm starting feel a bit worn down... i wasn't like this 2-3 weeks ago. just a little concerned... wouldn't want post cycle to be any more difficult than it has to be. (ie- continuing with proper training and nourishment)

Chief are you experiencing adrenal fatigue. Are you sure it's not a Low Thyroid Function. Here's some info for you are the signs of the two.

TOM, Chief's complaint may be a combination of both thyroid hormone and adrenal steroidogensis activity depression, a direct result of steroid analogs that bind to TR and PXR/SXR and LXR nuclear receptors.
I found this interesting write-up on the herb.
I'm sorta perplexed where the thread should reside: here, over in Health or in Supplements.I'll leave it here, unless one of the other mods chooses to relocate it.
See also: http://www.raysahelian.com/ashwagandha.html From Ray's site, a 2004 monograph: "Ashwagandha on chronic administration markedly augmented antioxidants (GSH, GS hydroperoxidase, superoxide dismutase, and blood catalase) while Vit E did not stimulate the synthesis of endogenous antioxidants compared to (controls")."
Oi-vey! The investigators should have checked thiols and NADPH, I bet those were augmented as well. This reducing agent boost, coupled with anti-inflammatory action is quite interesting. Note Ray's dosing: a few times a week! I tried it at two caps per day; no wonder it caused excessive androgen activity (I was wired at night).
Pretty interesting herb; thanks for bringing it to our attention, Chief. Note it being compounded with Bacopa and Rhodiola (Rays site again), forming a trio of very potent stress adaptogens. Note also its gabanergic activity. Good stuff and a good candidate to pct / CNS recovery from intense training.
