SJW and amisulpride do feel similar, that is after about a 4 to 6 week start up period. The calmness with motivation and energy I got from either one of them, though the overall good effect was more complete with sjw. If someone were deciding between the two, I personally would prefer sjw as the best choice...sjw lowers prolactin while amisulpride raises it a lot. Sjw has lots of health benefits where amisulpride doesn't.
I tried rhodiola several times. Each time I got a nice antidepressant effect on the first day which was never repeated on following days, and anxiety levels went way up.
You could spend years finding something to work like sjw did. It might be a good idea to return to it.

I've had it on my mind and was thinking about it you see, for depression etc. SJW so far has been the best med I've tried. I'm currently on rhodiola rosea, hmmm, to be honest it doesn't do anything for anxiety, in fact it makes it worse, but we'll see, not entirely certain it does anything for depression either, but well....
