upped the dose

[hopeful]

Hi,

Well, I increased my dose to 3 pills a day for the last 10 days or so and don't see a big difference. Although it seems like I am a little bit calmer now meaning I don't want to hit/break stuff as much. doesn't mean I don't wanna do it at all just less. don't know if it's RR or again just the fact that I'll be seeing a counselor soon and am really hoping to turn things around!!! even if the difference is because of RR, it's still not enough to make me just keep taking RR an not seek professional help.
I have another issue now, my sister who was helping me all this time dropped a bomb on me and told me that I can't discuss any of the issues with her anymore because it's affecting her and she was told not to talk to me. now I don't have anybody to talk to and it's making things worse!!! before, i could talk to her about anything and she would support me but it started getting bad a couple of months ago and now i don't have her anymore or atleast that's how it feels!!! what can you do??? you deal with stuff as it comes. anyway, i am really hoping this works out for me.
Thanks,
hopeful

hello hopeful have you thought about trying a different brand as three weeks does seem a long enough time to know if the herbs are going to work out for you. i am currently trying clear mind by ameridan i will let you know how they work out. this has other herbs in besides the RR.

is you brand SIBERIAN RR? i have read that this is the most effective source.

hi fatigue,
thanks for replying. No I don't wanna try other brand because it didn't help much at all and I feel bad enough to seek professional help. actually I can't wait. i hope healing starts right away because i feel pretty bad and losing my sister's support made it much worse.
I think nature's way had siberian RR. That's what I was using. finished the bottle just yesterday... no change with or without
anybody had similar experiences as me and wanna share them. I can use all the support and advice!!
Thanks,
hopeful

Hi Hopefull, I have tried Rhodiola Rosea as well. You know what's strange? I would take 1 capsule/day (100mg) and feel great, but when I took 2 capsules or more I either felt no difference, or worse. No idea why that was the case, but just some thoughts as sometimes less is more.

Hi kelly,

I think my condition was a little worse than sjw or RR can handle. Currently, I am seeing a psychiatrist, he put me on lexapro which helped considerably but as far as my issues, the progress is kind of slow. you can't really expect everything to be perfect overnight. i am still hopeful and taking it one day at a time.
thanks,
hopeful

Hey Hopeful, not sure if this will help but maybe you could write down what you're experiencing and then asking your sister to read it when she believes she can. Sometimes writing things down can be therapeutic. You might not even feel the need to give the paper to your sister after expressing yourself on paper.

Unfortunately depression affects our loved ones(excuse the understatement). It can be as tiring for them as it is for us. My husband reminds me of that fact often:freak4: ...

Take care. Stay strong.

Hi Anna,

Thanks for the idea and the well wishes. the situation has gotten kind of complicated with my sister. she can't get emotionally involved now. we do kind of talk through email which is like writing it down and letting her read it but it's not as open as it used to be which i miss alot!! i am seeing a therapist and talk to him about stuff. but your idea is good.. i actually thought about that and may actually do it
thanks,

thanks
