Hello everyone!! So I have seen a lot of really good reviews about Saw Palmetto here so about two weeks ago I decided to give it a try and see whether it would help. And recently I have been feeling a lot more anxious and depressed than before. I would have my palms sweating and my heartbeat is always fast. I can only feel normal again when I take some Lyrica (pills that help calm down our nerves).
I am not sure if it is because of my birth control pills, or the Saw Palmetto. But it's already the end of my third pack of BC pills and I didn't get all those anxiety issues before, so I am guessing it is more likely to be the Saw Palmetto. Does it have something to do with Saw Palmetto cutting down DHT? Has anyone also felt the same after taking it?
Thank you!!
It happened to me too. Anything that messes with hormones has the potential to cause side effects. Originally i was taking spironolactone which caused bad anxiety and depression. Gave myself a break and started on saw palmetto which started to do the same thing. Stopped that, bc i didnt want to go down the same road.

Hey girl!! Thank you for your reply. The anxiety attacks have been getting a little frequent for me... did you get breakouts from withdrawing from Saw Palmetto? I'm thinking about going off of it....

Not anymore than usual as far as breakouts. I was only using for about a few weeks with sp, as soon as i felt the anxiety I knew it was what was causing it. There are plenty of other supplements to try. Reishi has anti dht effects, theres one called Dht blocker that estroblock makes, spearmint tea, vit a/d/e and zinc all help as well
