started to have moderate to severe dizziness to the point of loss of balance. I am guessing my blood is too thin since it works like a blood thinner. Talk with your provider before taking if you are already on supplements and Meds.

Heed the warnings regarding interactions! I was using Gingko for three weeks to improve my memory. My Rhuematologist prescribed Ibuprofen twice daily for my arthritis and did not ask if I was taking anything. Two weeks later, a massive bruise suddenly appeared on my wrist.

My Rhuematologist prescribed Ibuprofen twice daily for my arthritis and did not ask if I was taking anything. Two weeks later, a massive bruise suddenly appeared on my wrist. It was four inches across and travelled half way up my inner arm. It was hot to the touch and quite swollen. I had not injured myself and had no idea why this was happening, so looked online to see if I could self-diagnose and found the contraindications of taking the two medications together. Thank goodness the bleeding was on my arm and not internal. I stopped taking the Gingko right away. Please investigate. I wish the doctor had asked, because I had no idea.

I started taking one ginkgo pill a day during weekdays. I noticed being clearer in the head. Unfortunately, when I skip the weekend days I get a headache that doesn't go away, similar to a caffeine withdrawal headache.

Unfortunately, when I skip the weekend days I get a headache that doesn't go away, similar to a caffeine withdrawal headache. After reading some reviews, I see that it is likely due to the impact that the ginkgo has on relieving headaches. The withdrawal headaches scare me. I also think that it may be impacting my sleep as I used to sleep perfectly, but on the ginkgo, I find myself waking at around 3am and then restless after that. Very odd. I like the increased blood flow to the brain idea, but am concerned with these other effects.

I started experiencing peri-menoupasal symptoms, the worst being brain fog. My work requires high intellectual ability and I was hoping to boost my memory. I have been using gingko biloba for almost a year now. It has absolutely no effect on me whatsoever: no harm, no good. I read a published results from a study suggesting that this supplement could cause liver damage in mice. I am discontinuing ... Show Full Comment
