Thanks, John. I was quite concerned that the benefit would wane if I took it continually. As it is, I do feel like it's pooping out somewhat. When I first took it, the despair disappeared, and though I still had generally low mood, it wasn't as bad as my previous baseline. Occasional bouts of despair have since resurfaced and my overall mood has slumped a bit as well. Does this mean I need to take more? I just started taking a small amount of prozac (in addition to the rhodiola) to see if it'll help, but it's too soon to tell.
Do you have any advice you could offer me in terms of dosing or augmentation? It doesn't seem like maca is something I'd be interested in, at least at the moment. The depression/dysthymia is really the primary issue. And I figured as much, about the Energy Reserves being more for physical energy rather than mood. (Oh well.) Thanks for any additional help you can offer!
