Ralph,
I'm so sorry to hear the SJW is losing effectiveness. I didn't think it would poop out since you didn't stop it completely, just lowered the dose, right? How long has it been seen you went back up to the higher dose? Are you actually taking more now than you used to?
I remember reading on the SJW forum that sometimes when it seems like it's losing effectiveness it actually means you should take less. Do you remember that? It seems less likely in your case since your depression came back after lowering it, but maybe you can ask the people over there what they think.
If you want to try RR, the most recommended brand is Mind Body Spirit by Verde Botanica which is sold at proactivebio.com. I believe they ship internationally. This is what I've been using and it hasn't caused insomnia for me. When I first started it, I felt pretty good the same day, almost normal. But it seems to be losing effectiveness. Taking more helped, but not enough. I recently added 10 mg prozac so we'll see whether that's the answer. There's a guy who posted on the med board about it (John something) who has been taking the MBS rhodiola for years and it still works great for him.
Good luck,
Jane
