I took rhodiola a couple more days and felt increased energy-however- the last day I took it at noon and had trouble going to sleep. Taking the rhodiola helps me to appreciate sinemet because I feel a sense of well being in a way with sinemet I don't feel with rhodiola. Quality sleep is precious to me - after doing some biofeedback work i got so i could go into deep restful sleep and need only 4 or 5 hours which i prefer to 8 hours of lesser quality and even taking the rhodiola in the early morning it just seemed a bit out of alignment with my comfort zone however I may take it on occassion on days when I want an extra boost. I have been taking a dropper full of passionflower extract before bed to correct the rhodiola effect and found it to be very helpful and I'm back to my deep restful sleep again -which for anyone interested is enhanced by high quality linen sheets which regulate temperature really well. have been looking at nootropic herbs - considering trying California poppy extract. in all fairness to rhodiola i only took it several days and i think it may be useful on occassion- i may be confusing my fear of agonist like herbs with efficacy.

I'm wondering if agonists and some herbs tend to also be receptors or stimulators of cortisol??

We just received the book Rhodiola Revolution from amazon....only on first chapter...it is amazing and can't wait to finish it.....Rhodiola is very neuroprotective as an adaptagen and has been used for centuries for stress, depression, memory & focus . Also to recover a depleted energy within the cells....
A friend just told me that MAOI's should not be used long term because they effect the liver, but Rhodiola can be used indefinitely. This is another plus for the herb. |

My husband really wanted to try this, but it seems to be inadvisable since he is taking Rasagiline. We are having a hard time trying supplements due to the contraindications. Good luck with continued success!

Thanks John., I had read that ,also
I just took the tap test on the computer (left then right) Since taking Rhodiola rosea...my hands scored very close together (both near 28) Usually my right hand was much faster. I had noticed my typing on the keyboard was faster / having less mistakes to fix this week... after reading the graph report on Stelevo post, and the site was included there for the test .....I tried it for myself. (Probably would have been faster tapping, but my room is very cold. may try again later in the day.) |

How much of the Rhodiola are you currently taking? I wanted to buy a bottle but it was in 500mg caps and I remembered that you started lower than that. How many times a day are ya taken it. I am excited because I needed something for my anxiety ever since I stopped using Azilect.

Tried a single dose of 400 mg root from Swanson's a couple of days ago. I felt not exactly anxious but more like "apprehensive". Not what I expected from the literature. Keep in mind that it could be just me, or product adulteration, or dosage, etc. I would suggest major dosage reduction as a start.
