I was wondering if anyone else has tried Rhodiola and their opinion of the supplement. I recently tried it due to the fact I sometimes have situational elevated blood pressure, anxiety and depression mostly due to family problems with my aging and near senile mother. I was looking for something natural rather than going the anti-depressant/xanax route. The supplement I tried was 150 mg and you take one a day. I have to say, I was wired for 3 days and I only took the supplement twice. I also had a bad headache that lasted a few days after taking it. The funny thing is that even though the wired stage lasted for a while, I was still able to sleep and then woke up with all this energy. I liked having the energy but it was a weird, spacy feeling. Just wondered if anyone else has had this experience with the supplement. I have read wonderful things about it and was really hopeful this was a natural product that could help my anxeity but it seemed to make it worse as I was so "hyped" up. Any thoughts?
