Well, I have stopped taking the SJW yesterday, and started taking Rhodiola.
As of right now, I feel decent. I actually began using the rhodiola yesterday. I took 250 yesterday and today. Tonight I decided to take another 250 mg. I layed down and fell asleep soon after. It was weird. I had a lot of dream activity.
Bach, I'm anxious to keep with this. You said it was finally an alternative to Paxil that you were looking for. Paxil is something that also worked for me really well, until I started building a tolerance. If this can be as good as Paxil, SIGN ME UP!
Bach, also, when you took SJW, how did that make you feel? And did you take it for awhile?? The reason I ask: Maybe Rhodiola works better for certain types of depression and anxiety then other types.
I'm thinking that having some of the SJW in my system will effect how I feel with this Rhodiola, but we'll see.
Waiting and hoping...

The biggest thing that I've noticed is the lack of worry that used to pervade my psyche. When you have depression and anxiety, aging is a bitch, as some of you can attest too. You get so tired of just not feeling like you should and worry about whether you'll ever be "normal" again. I'm 38 now and have had this since I was 13, so I''ve been struggling for quite awhile. With Rhodiola, though, I don't worry like I used too. I don't freak out about the notion that I will be old and still be depressed or suffer from panic attacks. I just feel right with the world and accepting of everything. And yes, it's much like the feeling Paxil gave me.
As for my experiences with SJW, at first I noticed a good effect, but then it leveled off and it never felt as if it was quite enough. I also took 5-HTP and struggled with the dosage, sometimes it seemed to work and other times it didn't. SJW did more for my depression, but my overriding symptom was anxiety and it didn't do much for that.
Right now I just take Rhodiola and NADH. I think the NADH also helps, but it is definitely more subtle. But I have read where Rhodiola has a synergistic effect with other suppliments, so perhaps I'll keep taking it. You might want to bump your dosage to 500mg/day, if it doesn't seem like it's enough. I've been taking 500mg for 3 days now with great success. Also, let me know about your ability to speak and communicate, after being on it for awhile. I've noticed a big difference in my speaking abilities and find it much easier to communicate effectively.
As with all medications and suppliments, your mileage may vary. We are all different chemically from one another and Rhodiola is going to work better for some than it does others. But I will say that I am the type who is usually non-reactive to most things, therefore I find it necessary to sing the praises of Rhodioa Rosea.
