I’m curious about people’s experiences with Rhodiola. For me, it seems to help with mood, energy, and a general sense of vigor. On the downside, it seems to increase feelings of anger, irritability, and impatience - even at the very low doses I’ve been taking, which have been in the range of 1/8-3/8tsp, steeped in tea. My sense is that it’s probably best to cycle this herb, not for tolerance reasons, per se, but due to its unwanted side effects appearing to build up with continued use.
