Hi Denise,Well the Rhodiola Rosea is bringing back some of my emotions and even my libido, that have been dormant for many years now, mostly due to the SSRI meds I was taking for so many years, IMO.
Rhodiola is nothing like Saint Johns Wort, which didn't do anything for me either, whatsoever.
IMO, this herb does have a real effect, and it doesn't cause excessive anxiety and jitteryness, like the herb, Ginseng, does.
It's certainly not a cure-all, so far, but its better then most of the crummy AD's I have been on for far too long now.
All in all, I'd say its worth the money to try it before you consider the ECT treatments, and see if it helps you.
