John,
Are you sure about the estrogen? I had been taking the rhodiola with mostly good results, but really sank this past week during my PMS time. I took extra rhodiola and seemed to get even more anxious and depressed (yes, I'm taking the MBS brand). I was afraid it might be affecting estrogen after all, and exacerbating the PMS.
I also read that rhodiola can be hypoglycemic, which I worry might be why I always wake up hungry and irritable. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for any insight you can offer. I really want this herb to work, and it seemed like it was really helping for a while, but lately, it seems to be doing more harm than good. I wonder whether I need a break.
