Meri,
Largely because of your mostly-positive experience with rhodiola rosea, I decided to give it a try...
I've been on 100mg of the New Chapter brand for about a week. I certainly noticed the increased energy from the start, and perhaps have been less irritable lately. On the other hand, however, I've been... well, I haven't been moved (emotionally, of course) by the changing of the seasons, for example, and this is my favorite time of year in the northeastern US. I've felt generally less optimistic, and definitely more anxious (just around the edges, but it's noticeable).
Anyway. My question to you is (and it very much echoes a mainstream AD sort of question): did you experience something like this at first, before the brightening of your mood (and before the subsequent worsening of your anxeity)?
I'm on the edge of ending my trial. Even though the increased energy has been beneficial, etc. It's OK if you don't really have much more advice to give -- I very much appreciate the warmth and information in your previous posts.
