Hi I took Rhodiola on the advice of my pharmacist as an alternative to anti- depressant prescribed by my GP after the birth of my little boy. The anti depressant that I had been prescribed made my symptoms worse. I tried Rhodiola (for the long-term), Skull cap (short-term) and Agnus Castus along with B complex. The effects were amazing and I slowly got my life back I took the supplements for approx 2 years. I haven't taken Rhodiola or Agnus castus for 7 months (decided to have a break) and recently noticed an increase in my anxiety.
I have found that a combination of supplements, healthy eating ie plently of turkey, oily fish, herbal teas especially camomille, cutting out sugar and starchy foods especially white bread & white pasta, yoga, light therapy-light boxes are fantastic to lift mood, brisk 20 mins walk a day if possible, swimming, gym-start off gently and try if you can afford to work with a personal trainer to help with confidence especailly if you are anxious about heart pounding etc.., lavendar oil, Bach rescue remedy, hypnotherapy-great to help deep relaxation & trying to have fun take mind off symptoms all help to lift mood and lower my anxiety levels....
