In reply to Rhodiola knocked me out,shoud I give it other try?, posted by Agomelatinehope on September 22, 2012, at 19:27:03
The time of day when taken can be very crucial. I notice different effects depending when I take it. Morning dose can cause sedation within me but an afternoon dose usually can cause me to have more energy, bit better cognition, some bit more interest etc. Sometimes late afternoon or mid evening give me that boost instead. Also... I notice sometimes it may initially make me tired for an hour and then positive effects follow afterwards. It at times has been absolutely remarkable for me but also frustrating in it's inconsistency.
Also lower doses are often more stimulating while higher doses can be quite sedating. Generally speaking.
> Hi. I purchased Rhodiola Rosea thinking that it could boost my energy, make more active, pro social and able to focus but it seems my 1st experience hasn't been like that...

> I took half pill after lunch (250mg) since I read it was quite powerful and I needed energy for the remaining day. Instead of giving me energy, I was knocked out 30min afterwards. I had to go to sleep for two hours and then I woke up dizzy, tired, and feeling like a Zombie. That lasted for 8-10hours. My day was ruined...
