I wanted to share one other thing that has been an outcome of this experiment: near elimination of self-anger. (At first I was also taking tyrosine and DLPA together, which I'd had some good results with in the past re: focus and concentration. But they had a very negative affect on my anger levels and I stopped them -- along with coffee, even decaf, which I no longer crave -- after I started Rhodiola Rosea.)
A couple of things have happened in the last few days that would have sent me over the edge into extreme anger at myself, and they didn't really faze me. It's not that I had an unrealistically rosy outlook, but instead of having a distorted view of the meaning of the events (encountering the consequences of inattentiveness and using that to condemn myself angrily) I just took them in stride.
I also cooked something I've never done before for Thanksgiving dinner, which is usually the kind of situation that makes me extremely tense, and I wasn't tense at all, just interested to find out how it would turn out.
Just thought I'd share.
