I very recently began taking the Rhodiola Rosea at 150 mg 1/day in the morning and WOW! I started taking it just over a week ago and felt an effect just three days into this dosage. It was gradual for me to realize that it was the Rhodiola having an effect on me, but I just suddenly felt like...doing things. I hate taking prescription drugs and have a deeply rooted belief they are a plague and instill a lack of self-responsibility in many people, so I would much rather not prescribe to the easy way out and find natural solutions to my problems. Although not clinically diagnosed, I believe I suffer from mild anxiety, insomnia (primarily caused by racing thoughts), and mild depression -- can you see how many different types of money-making drugs I would need to take? No thank you.
To combat these ills I have taken 5HTP (works for my deep-seated winter depression and I cycle this), Melatonin (worthless), Vitamin D 50,000 IU, Ashwagandha, and now Rhodiola Rosea. Of these, I believe Rhodiola Rosea has had the quickest, most noticeable effect on my mood, outlook on life, and general well-being. I've read that typical dosage is between 200 mg - 1000 mg; so if I am at 150 mg/day and feeling its effects I cannot IMAGINE how awesome I will feel (and be) at a higher dosage
