> Thanks, John. I was quite concerned that the benefit would wane if I took it continually. As it is, I do feel like it's pooping out somewhat. When I first took it, the despair disappeared, and though I still had generally low mood, it wasn't as bad as my previous baseline. Occasional bouts of despair have since resurfaced and my overall mood has slumped a bit as well. Does this mean I need to take more? I just started taking a small amount of prozac (in addition to the rhodiola) to see if it'll help, but it's too soon to tell.

> Do you have any advice you could offer me in terms of dosing or augmentation? It doesn't seem like maca is something I'd be interested in, at least at the moment. The depression/dysthymia is really the primary issue. And I figured as much, about the Energy Reserves being more for physical energy rather than mood. (Oh well.) Thanks for any additional help you can offer!I take three capsules a day, have for some time (another Swedish brand before that, same potency) and have had ups and downs, but generally stable in mood and depression levels are so low now compared to my former norm. Occasionally I have run out and have to buy something in a store - only to find that my issues take a dramatic downwards turn until I get back on the Mind Body Spirit product. So -- I'd suggest that you forget about their "two capsules" approach on the box, and use more than that. ): J
