Hello Everyone!
I was having a hard time with 5htp and some shortness of breath side affects. So D_alien suggested that I try Rhodiola Rosea. THE STUFF WORKS GREAT! And with no side affects what-so-ever. It increased my energy (no sleepy side affect here) and it decreased my appetite. And its a natural antidepressant to boot. It works on serotonin and dopamine in the brain. And... guess what!! I've lost five lbs! Thank you D_alien for the tip

Hi Surfingramma,
What brand of Rhodiola Rosea do you take, and what dosage do you take? Thanks for any info.

By The Way, Just an FYI, I told my son to buy some Rhodiola before he started his drive home from college last night. He was able to drive through the night and said that it made him feel great on just 250mg's (I think). It really seemed to perk up his mood too... Anyone got a tired grumpy kid????????? Where has this stuff been all my (kid's) life?

Hi There H20Buffalo,
Start with 250mg - 500mg's daily. Morning and early afternoon. I took it in the late afternoon (just once) and laid awake half of the night  . I use Nature's Way brand. If you find another brand just make sure that it says Rosea after the word Rhodiola and that it contains at least 3% Rosavins and 1% Salidroside. Below is an address where you can read more about it if you like.

Also I would'nt take more than 750mg - 1000mg's daily. It might make you edgy.
Good Luck!!!

Hi Surfingramma,
I tried it for a while for anxiety which it helped only slighty. It seemed more to boost energy which was good, but not really my main problem...glad it works for you though! :)

I tried it too. I liked the way it made me feel, but after a week, I had a terrible allergic reaction all over my body. I suppose there's some possibility it might not have been the Rhodiola but it seems the most likely suspect. Just wanted to warn you all that it's not necessarily without uncomfortable effects, though these are likely rare
