Personal experience, labelled as such, is exactly right here. Nobody is prescribing. Not on ashwagandha but the pattern is familiar.

I would take the narrow conclusion. Broad ones are more interesting and less true.

I would stop trying to convey how bad it is and start saying what you want them to do.

Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.
