What effect did the Rhodiola have on you? Was it effective for depression, including apathy, as well as anxiety? Also, did you take it at the same time as an AD (SSRI)? I had bought some to try, but when I had read that it works on MAO, I raised it with my pdoc (since I am on an AD [Lexapro]), and he didn't think it was a good idea to try it. I still really want to try it to see if it will help with the residual apathy and fatigue I am experiencing, but I don't know. I would, personally, rather try Rhodiola before adding a stimulant.
Anyway, sorry for all the questions. Anything you can tell me would be much appreciated.

It's just not worth the risk even though a highly standardized extract of hyperforin like New Chapters SC27 works amazingly well for my symptoms and is cognitive boosting rather than dulling.
