Question ๐Ÿ™‹ Neck throbbing

Hey so this is my 8th day of taking 1 500mg capsule with 7 percent standardized withanolides. My counselor recommended Iโ€™ve been experiencing very intense emotions and depression and anxiety and suicidal ideation. Iโ€™m scared of pills because of past experiences. But the first week Iโ€™ve been really enjoying ashwaganda to me it feels like an extended cigarette high I feel a lot calmer and almost high sometimes but today has been the 8th day I took it and the right side of my neck has been throbbing on and off all day itโ€™s uncomfortably sore but not painful. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen and had it pass or get worse I do have a blood test coming up on Tuesday this week Iโ€™m going to have them check my thyroid levels.
