For Herbal Supplementation "I was having sounds in my left ear like a heartbeat. I read about the possible help from Ginkgo. I asked my doctor about taking it and was told that it could affect blood clotting. However, when I started taking it, in two days the noise was gone. I don't know if it will work for anyone else, but my heartbeat in my ear is gone!"

For Herbal Supplementation "Taken for treatment of cold hands and feet. Noticeable difference in my ability to retain information in my studies and get through papers more quickly, which I became aware of 2-3 weeks after commencement. I had no noticeable side effects."

For Herbal Supplementation "I took it to reduce my dizziness, and guess what? It transformed it into vertigo, so I stopped taking it (I was not taking any drugs, so no interactions). I forgot about that episode, and I took it months later for migraine and brain fog, but I woke up with bad vertigo the next day... So! It doesn't suit everyone, and it's not a miracle cure as it's pretended on the web. Go slowly if you want to try it."

For Herbal Supplementation "I took this on recommendation it would help my memory. Had racing thoughts and much mental activity when it started to kick in. Was kind of pleasant, but was unaccustomed to the mental excitation and acuity. Wasn't dreadful, but couldn't sleep until it wore off. More than a cup of coffee which wakes up the body, woke my mind and haven't tried it since in such potency, though now I'm reconsidering my decision because I feel dead to the world."

For Herbal Supplementation "This Ginkgo Biloba caused vertigo when I took it. It may work well for others, but, as for me, the side effect was too great for me to notice any of its beneficial effects. Be careful when taking, especially if you drive or operate machinery."

For Herbal Supplementation "Seems to increase capacity for recalling short-term information vs. mid-term. Noticeably easier to learn during use. There seems to be complications with taking this herb/extract. It may be causing increased light sensitivity; car headlights, transitioning from indoors to outdoors, and any focused light, i.e., lasers. The effects are described as a searing pain near my retina or ocular nerves. Possible interaction with smoked cannabis in the evening, only when lying down for sleep, with internal sensations of cranial and neural pulsating. Possibly caused uncomfortable ringing in the ears, more frequent with cannabis use. The latter was non-specific to left or right. Likely best taken in isolation (with food) in the pre-dawn hours - (not sure)"

For Herbal Supplementation "I have started taking the extract capsules and have, in the last couple of weeks, been agitated and getting upset easier than I ever did before. It did help somewhat my mental clarity, but the side effects are not worth it. I do take a blood thinner, so maybe it's reacting with that too. So I am stopping it."

For Herbal Supplementation "I began taking an organic cold-pressed leaf extract (500 mg) in decaffeinated black tea each morning three months ago. Approximately one month ago, I started drinking an herbal tea containing apple skin, sage, and Ginkgo biloba leaf (200 mg) each afternoon in addition to the aforementioned tincture. I'm in my forties and began taking the Ginkgo supplements in response to a perceived decrease in memory function, mostly recall. Since starting the supplement regimen, I'm noticing a moderate improvement in recall and perhaps a slight improvement in storing new information. I've experienced no side effects despite a severe allergy to poison ivy. I'm in good health, eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise, etc."
