RE: Depression vs Plant Medicines.
I started taking rhodiola a couple of years ago, and at first I thought it was quite helpful, and I had that good, focused feeling you mention. But last year I had an episode of anxiety and I thought its energizing effects were detrimental - I just felt a little too buzzy-twitchy, electrified, so I stopped. It may not be the best choice if you have that type of anxiety, but everyone's different. I would like to revisit this herb in the future, though.
I kinda have hints of that too @janamclaughlin, in the sense that I don't really see the NEED to take it everyday. It's kindof a useful tool for more energy, to boost a dreary day or otherwise give you focus when you might need it, but it's not habit forming and (I think) should just be used with discretion and respect... no need to fear though just an understanding of how to use it, when and why.
