Please share your experiences with Rhodiola, It claims to aid with depression and to boost energy. It also claims to increase sex drive, which i believe my libido has decreased because of St. Johns. Has it helped you? In what ways? any side effects? Sleep better? Sex drive? better Mood?? and most of all if it has helped you what BRAND and how MUCH do you take? thanks everyone looking forward to your replies.

Rhodiola Rosea is indigenous to the Arctic and Alpine regions of Europe, Asia and America and has long been used as a tonic by many cultures, including the Ancient Greeks. Rhodiola is generally known as an "adaptogen", a term which refers to any agent possessing the ability to increase the body's capacity to adapt to stressful conditions. This standardized extract of min. 3% Total Rosavins and min. 1% Salidrosides is the highest potency of Rhodiola Rosea available.

I use Rhodiola and it works for me. I only use it occassionaly, when I feel like I need an extra boost, and the SJW isn't doing it for me. I've heard/read if you use it continuously for months, the effects stop, so that's why I use it only for my worst times. I use Nature's Plus, one tablet of 250 mg. I just recently started it up again, after not using it since Aug. 2004. The first two days, I didn't feel anything, but the third day, I felt calmer, and not bothered by things. The fourth day, I got a headache, which I normally do if I use it two days in a row. I can get by taking one tablet every other day. But, since I was feeling better, and not wanting to over do it, I took 600 mg. SJW the next day, and then Rhodiola the next, and alternated like that for a week. Now I'm just on the SJW, but if I feel myself dipping, I'll take the Rhodiola one day as needed.....I don't think I've Ever read of others alternating like I did, and I would not advise taking them together on the same day! I feel like I'm very tuned to my body, and have used both Rhodiola and SJW before, and know how I'm affected by both, and could get by with what I did for a week.
Also, do a site search, it was talked about a lot on this site a few years ago.

Hi,
I tried two different brands of Rhodiola Rosea, Gaia Herbs and Nature's Way.I was taking it for anxiety. To be honest,it didn't do anything for me so I wouldn't recommend it. But that's only my experience.

It may help with depression (lethargy, emotional blunting, lack of drive etc) as it is a stimulant basically, so may elevate anxiety a little bit in some users.

Hi there: I know there are conflicting opinions about Rhodiola, but it has worked very well for me. It has taken care of the fatigue and lack of energy I had been feeling. I have been on it (150 mg/day about half hour before breakfast; occasionally another dose before lunch) for about six months. Once in a while I try taking a 2 or 3 day break because of the experience of some people that it stops working. I haven't noticed anything like that, but there is a reduction in energy levels when I miss a few doses. I was also taking SJW for about 4 months, but somehow had a sense that the Rhodiola was working better for me. I stopped the SJW about two months ago, and have been taking 100mg 5HTP (50mg in the morning/50mg in the evening). This combination seems to work well for energy, mood and anxiety (my anxiety levels were quite bad over the summer months last year). Sometimes I feel as though I could be having a few hours or a day of "mini-mania" (never really have had manic states as such, so don't know what they feel like). But the flip side doesn't really come after, or maybe just as a small reduction in mood and energy levels. I do hope that the Rhodiola continues to work. I do plan to continue taking it, since I feel a lot better on it than before.
