M-T,
This looks quite fabulous; the schisandra I really liked as part of an herbal blend a TCM practitioner prescribed to me. And you'll have to let us know how the Damiana treats you, too.
I liked the rhodiola, but I got distracted by it. It definitely provided a boost. You've reminded me that I may need to give it a try again...
By the way, was the herbalist trained in any particular tradition (like TCM)? I'm curious about how they come up with their diagnosis and then prescriptions...

There were some very mild side effects, I think it made me wake more early that I usually do (but that could just be because its so light here now in the early mornings) and I might be getting some headaches, but that could be because I've been wearing sunglasses on top of my head.
