Comment:
This seems to reduce my anxiety and help my concentration. Some days my anxiety is so bad that I cannot get much done and this helps counteract that. It does cause a minor amount of nausea 30 minutes or so or so after taking it, but it is worth the overall improvement to my mood. I wouldn't want to drive right after taking it though.

I have been taking rhodiola for over a year. It works great for reducing general anxiety. If I go longer than two days without it, I get an inner jitteriness and feelings of doom. I have noticed no side effects. I take it twice a day. I take no prescription meds.

Noticed the effects pretty much from the first day (Been using it for 3 weeks now) Don't feel on edge anymore, feeling rather calm and much more at peace. Awake during the day. and sleeping

I was introduced to this product by the sales person at the Healthy Living section of my grocery store. Right at that time I was having a severe PTSD attack. There was immediate relief, my breathing was easier and my heart rate went down. For me it has been especially helpful with stress and anxiety, normally I only take it when I am stressed. However, I believe that I will begin taking it dai
