I never been diagnosed with depression.
Im not always depressed but I had a few days during the month where I just felt lethargic, worthless, tired and hopeless. Many of those times it was situational but then there were flukes where I felt kinda depressed for no reason (which was rare).
Though I wasnt always depressed the times I wont deny that the feeling sucked. All the random negative thoughts in my head and just felt like I wasnt here but was here. Just felt blank.
I started taking rhodiola over 4 weeks ago. I dont know the exact amount of weeks but its been over 4 weeks.
The first brand I tried was Natures Answer. It was a liquid extract. I have a hard time taking pills. The first couple of days I felt better about myself, less things stressed me out and I slept better.
Then there were 2 days where I felt like crap.
Since then I havent really felt depressed at all.
I tried another brand called Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum about 2 weeks ago. They are in tab forms and I got a pill cutter which is lovely.
It doesnt have the recommended rosavins and salidrosides but so far I think it works.
Havent felt depressed since ive taken this brand. When I wake up I feel less lethargic, I dont have as much anxiety (dont worry as much), less stressed about things, I sleep better (less insomia).
I noticed also since I took rhodiola that I dont get much PMS either lol which is odd for me because I usually get really moody and sort of depressed days before my period.
There might be like one day where I might feel sad about something but its nowhere near as the times when I felt depressed about life. :smile:
Im sure with all antidepressants there will be flukes but I dont think ill stop taking this because I seriously rly think it works.
Maybe it will help me when the seasons change because I get more sad during the winter.
If anyone thinks of taking it give it a try. You should know if it works after 4 weeks when your body gets used to it.
