How do I know that I have overactive NE? Good question. I've been sweaty and jittery? I don't like Sudafed? All of the other neurotransmitters are more interesting? Clearly I have no idea.
OK, with Rhodiola. I'm copying this from a printout from my doc.
Metabolism.
Rhodiola has antioxidant properties, lowers elevated glucose in Type1 diabetes, enhances production of energy via oxidative phoshorylation, shortens recovery time after exercise, prevents fatigue and hypoglycemia and increases stamina.Nervous system.
Improves attention span, concentration, hearing ability (increases air and bone conduction on speech tones), improves mental function and memory, influences (?) and enhances the hypothalamus and prevents stress.
Gosh. You must be wondering why you aren't taking it already,or what kind of a doctor I have. Anyway there must be something to it. The only problem I see with it is this: My wife sleeps really well (She didn't notice deprenyl), yet after 2 or 3 days of rhodiola she started to get a flickery sleep. But we're all different.It grows at the other end of the continent to Finland. Arctic root, golden root.
