I had to stop taking St. Johns Wort due to it counteracting with my prescribed medicaine. I started taking Rhodiola 2weeks ago and have had great results with my irritabilitly.working night shift over 20years takes its toll. I am much calmer and feel much more enjoyalbe with my spouse and coworkers. I had to learn the hard way of not taking Rhodiola before bed, it will cause insomnia.

Suffered depression from chronic stress from over a decade in my profession. I am in a high-performance sales profession with my compensation tied to using interpersonal skills and group presentations. Not a drinker or drug user (prescription or otherwise) so the sudden onset of chronic depression was surprising. Spoke to my primary care doc who prescribed zoloft. Reaction to this drug was extremely negative(constant extreme anxiety, paranoia and even a brief period of suicidal thoughts). Stopped zoloft and tried exercise plus diet and although I was not as bad, I still had issues. Read about rhodiola root and decided to try it due to the low toxicity. Started with 100 mg/day and within 24 hours I could feel the benefit. I wasn't in a permanently bad mood. After 2-3 days I was slipping back to brief anxiety attacks. Raised it up to 200 mg/day (first thing in the morning before breakfast and 30 minutes before lunch). 3 weeks later and I'm 100% better. I no longer have anxiety attacks even when doing presentations in front of large audiences. This herb has changed my life. I've read hours and hours of different reviews of various herbs and remedies. One thing I've learned is that each body is different and you'll need to try to see what is right for you. For me, this root has helped me. I've been fighting an inner battle of anxiety during public speaking for many years and no longer even have this issue. I feel liberated now that I have found a better chemical balance. I am concerned that my body will change and go back to the prior issues but for now I am happy again.

I took roseroot to help with stress and insomnia. I slept like a baby last night and was energetic, focused and motivated today. I went to the gym and really hit it. I also felt cheerful all day. Up until tonight though, I had no idea that roseroot was related to increased energy, athletic performance or improved mood. It could be because of the good night of sleep though.
