Hey Everyone,

Fatigue has been one of my main symptoms since getting Lyme so I am debating on taking Eleuthero given Buhner's recommendation in his book for Chronic Fatigue. The only thing holding me back is that my LLMD lets me drink a cup of coffee in the mornings and I don't know how or if these two interact. I certainly do not want to cause problems by over stimulating my body.

Has anyone had experience with this or know if they interact negatively?

Thanks!

I have a couple of friends that drink coffee and take Eleutherococcus. They have no problem at all.

Now for me? I drink one cup of coffee every morning and that is it. If I drink a cup of coffee after noon, I will not be able to get to sleep at 9pm. I am so sensitive to it.

So then I got lyme and tried to take Eleuthero, of my gosh, my heart was racing and I could not do it. Same thing happened with Sida Acuta. Only Sida gave me heart flutters like a butterfly was in my chest. Eleuthero gave me the racing face heartbeat throughout my entire body. Both times I tested with just 2 drops of the tincture.

My advice is take a small amount and test it.

Eleutheros is an adaptogen..not a stimulant...so I don't see an issue with it.
