I decided to try rhodiola capsules to see if it helped with anxiety/mild depression. I found that I became a bit more stressed, and it felt like my heart was beating really fast.

I started suffering from overwhelming general anxiety due to perimenopause. Rhodiola was recommended by our local heath store, and I was immediately pleased. No side effects so far, easy to use, and not too many pills (as sometimes happens with herbs). Totally recommend.

Helps with my energy level and mental clarity. This worked when prescription drugs did not and does not cause the "electric shocks associated with prescriptions like Buspirone or Lexapro.
