Gayle,

Here is a thorough document on Rhodiola. As I said in my post above, serotonin syndrome is a risk if Rhodiola is taken with an MAOI due to the release of serotonin. Further, there might be a risk of hypertensive crisis due to the release of norepinephrine and stimulation of epinephrine by Rhodiola.

Anecdotally, I took Rhodiola several years ago prior to being on an MAOI. It caused me to become very irritable. GRRRRRR!
