Comment:
In the first few days of taking this drug, I felt more anxious than before. Continued taking it because I felt less fogged and more focused. I've now been on this drug for almost 2 weeks and now my mood has stabilized and I feel a consistent sense of calm.

Only took one tablet to mess with my thyroid function. Extreme fatgue, muscle weakness, felt awful. Slowly got better over a number of days. Tried twice with same result. This stuff is potent and dangerous.

Comment:
I heard and read that this supplement help to decrease the cortisol in the body. So, I had every stressful life and usually I'm in the high stress mode in daily bases. I began to take rhodiola rosea (300mg) and after 25 days I begun to feel relaxing and less reactive on daily situation that I previously had to deal, loose weight and the bonus is I'm sleeping well.
