I've read it, and it's a good book. They combine rhodiola with psyche meds with few problems. I take it occasionally with no ill effects.
Rhodiola is pretty stimulating, and more is not always better. 500mg is probably too much to begin with, although it is often sold in that dosage. Combine cautiously with anything containing caffeine.
It's really good for physical energy, and in conjunction with mild to moderate exercise, it really helps build energy capacity. In terms of helping with anxiety, it will probably do better with low-energy type anxiety. Ashwagandha and jiaogulan are two calming adaptogens that can be safely taken on a regular basis. Holy Basil for that matter too, but I've only taken ashwagandha and jiaogulan; the latter makes a nice tea.
