Anyhow I tend to suffer from bouts of rather bad anxiety and bad stress, this causes me to get panic attacks, sweaty, for my throat to close and feel tight and also it leads me to have low energy levels and to suffer Insomnia. I live in Europe. So I have access to some good herbal preparations and yes there is St.Johns wort which takes two weeks to cause effects , I have used the South African Herb Sceletium Tortuosum- Kanna with great success for anxiety it is way more potent that St.Johns wort. But now i have another Herbal compound worth mentioning I was able to get my hands on Siberian Rhodiola Rosea pills from Scandinavia . For those of you living in the states if you get RHodiola you must make sure its from its natural habitat Russia, Siberia And Scandinavia because RHodiola thrives there naturally and produces the most abundant phytochemicals in that environment.
Anyways I was suffering bad anxiety this week, panic attacks,tight throat insomnia which caused a lack of energy. So i went to the Pharmacy and I bought those Rhodiola Pills otc they are standardized 3 to 1 Rosavin to Salidrosid. I got Siberian Rhodiola Rosea. These pills are potent, and if you need to a good Natural Antidepressant this is it. The effects build up rapidly way faster than St.Johns wort or Prozac or Zoloft and the side effects are low.
The first day of taking them I felt more energy, more social, less fatigue and yes even certain stress related responses like eye twitches stopped. That is amazing i literally I felt it take away my eye twitches( amazing that a herbal can do this) and it lifted the mental fog that anxiety can cause, I could think more clearly and this was the first day of taking it. Also Rhodiola boosts Physical energy like no before I went to the gym and I was working out like crazy, And its amazing because even if you dont sleep it boosts your energy like I had insomnia and slept 5 hours every night this week and the day first day I took Rhodiola I only had 5 hours of sleep yet it made me more energized and functional than on a full nights of sleep. After taking a Rhodiola pill the effects take 3-4 hours to appear but they last the whole day.
The second day I took them was yesterday, I took one at 10 in the morning, immediately i felt an energizing effect and At Around 12 I could feel a strong anti anxiety effect , I was studying as I am a student and I could feel that my mind was stimulated calm and clear and I felt very focused and I felt a calm energy. The relief of anxiety was Amazing comparable to Benzodiazepines but it was stimulating not sedating like the benzos and it was energizing, Its hard to describe but it feels good. Its like a low dose of Amphetamines combined with Benzodiazepines this is most likely what it feels like, Good Siberian Rhodiola. Then around 1 o clock I felt the energy increase, I decided to stop studying and I went to work out and again I had a bit of insomnia ( Initially RHodiola aggrevates insomnia because its stimulating) But my energy levels where high even though i didnt sleep. I had a very good workout. (Yes one more thing Rhodiola decreases Appetite and it increases your bodies ability to produce insulin and use the food you eat as energy more efficiently this is one of its proposed mechanisms of increasing energy and decreasing, The next thing Rhodiola does is increase energy production in your Muscle, Red Blood cells and even Neuronal Brain Cells. These two days I used Rhodiola I ate way less and yes they have used Rhodiola for emotional eating.)
After the workout i went on with my Day.
ITs amazing that a herbal compound like Rhodiola can get rid of all of the effects of stress and anxiety while energizing me.Also the second day of taking it I felt mood enhancement I was smiling more, laughing more and I felt happy and content. And I had two workouts in the second day one in the afternoon and the next a 30 minute running session at night. I felt a very strong increase in Physical energy, with drastically reduced anxiety levels, and Antidepressant effects. The effects build up rapidly, Today I started my 3rd dose. I just take one dose per day. I get very potent Siberian Rhodiola. I tried Rhodiola from the US and it doesnt compare to this Siberian Rhodiola. This makes you feel like your a bull.
The effects of Rhodiola=
1.Its An strong Adaptogen it puts your body into balance if your stressed it removes the stress. It acts as a scale and balance in your body. Keeping you Mentally and Physically Stable.I felt this on myself because if your very stressed and very anxious it works even more effectively to balance you, like Rhodiola might not provide as a strong antidepressant and anxiolytic effect if your not so anxious to begin with, I was anxious and Rhodiola worked against that negative energy putting me back into balance .
2. It has immune boosting properties and it reduces the frequency of colds and infections and the flu.
3. It rapidly increases Physical energy especially in individuals who are less fit but the fit as well , It increases your ability for cardiovascular activity and increases Anaerobic capacity. I felt this on myself yesterday I had a weight lifting session and a running session in the evening and I was able to push myself a lot harder than usual. I would say it increases Aeorobic capacity by up to 50-75 percent. This effect is especially noticeable after the second day of taking it.
4. It gives you mental energy, clear focused energy, a lot better feeling than caffeine. It also lifts the mental fog and head state that anxiety and stress can cause.
5. It boosts mood, you feel less down, it provides Anti-depressant effects. You smile and laugh more and you feel generally happier.
6. It is mildly Euphoric especially if you suffer from anxiety or depression you get a grip of yourself and this can make you feel good.
Side Effects-
1. The first few days of taking it , it is very stimulating and energizing, it can aggravate insomnia.But as your body adjusts this effect gets reduced and insomnia improves with time.
2. The physically energizing and mentally energizing effects diminsh after two weeks of continuous use. And when you take Rhodiola for more than two weeks it starts to have more sedating effects but the anxiolytic and antidepressant persist for up to one or 2 months.
3. It can interact with Coffee, Yerba mate providing greater energy boost.
4. it Interacts with Antidepressants and Drugs that act on the CNS such as prozac and even stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamine and xtc.
The Antidepressant and anxiolytic effects are more noticeable if you suffer from anxiety upon starting to take RHodiola , because as I Stated it acts as a balance.
But for those of you who dont have anxiety but want an energy booster for working out and general life RHodiola is good.
ITs good to take in cycles like use it for 2-4 weeks when you need that extra energy when you need that mood lift, or that anti anxiety effect.
Its amazing though that a compound like this exists in Nature. And Yea its mechanism is similiar to the Antidepressants on the market because Rhodiola increases Serotonin Production in the brain but it also has additional effects such as the increases the production of Endorphins and it increases Energy production in cells of the body.
Siberian Rhodiola ROsea is what makes a difference that is what im using.
