Rhodiola was horrible for my sleep. I slept badly with it.
I took some along with prozac a few years ago. At first I liked it. It gave some warm motivation and energy. But about a week into it I realized it was giving me bad sexual dysfunction that hadn't been there before I started it.
Last year I tried it again, with prozac and zyprexa. I had a panic attack within 3 days for the first time in my life and ended up in the emergency room thinking I was dying. It was scary. I stopped rhodiola right away and the panic attackes went away in about 36 hours.
They say lower doses are more energizing while higher doses are more relaxing. I think you will have to play with it to see. It gave me too many problems to keep playing.
