Just do the protocol. With herbs, any negative effects come from the dosage. Too much of anything is bad. You shouldn’t be “megadosing” anything in your current state, in my opinion. Your body and brain are exposed, and maybe even a bit weak, because of Minoxidil, which I also crashed on by the way.

I would do things that make your body heal and reset itself, maybe a short fast, and some of the Wim Hof breathing exercises to see if that gets rid of your side effects over a few days. Large doses of herbs can temporarily mess with your gut bacteria which can cause issues. Once you’re recovered from the ashwaganda sides, I would start the protocol. There’s no reason not to. I feel a bit better on it already, and it’s only in the past month or so that I’ve been doing it 100%. It’s holistic.
