Two things I would suggest would be to take 1 cap in the morning and then one cap in the early afternoon. I have read that Rhodiola may begin to wear off in about 6-8 hours so split dosing may give you better stability wrt blood levels. The other suggestion would be to jump up to the 300mg. dosage by New Chapter. That is what I take currently after starting with the 100mgs. size.
Rho was at first stimulating for me but I don't know how much of that was the herb itself since I was taking SJW when I started it. After about a week I discontinued the SJW and kept up with the Rho and found it did the job just fine all on it's own. I did notice that after about two weeks of taking it I lost the stimulant effect which I personally enjoyed but I still was getting a lot of great benefits from it so I continued it but bumped up to the 300mgs. which I am taking now.
good luck
