Rhodiola + Ashwagandha is my go to at the moment. Haven’t used either long term but, I’m really surprised by the combo.

  Do you find you are more aggressive after taking them? I find it increases for me , maybe the reduction in stress makes me feel more at ease to be able to assert and be disagreeable lol

    100% anecdotal, but I get frustrated/angry/grumpy with ashwagandha. Very sleepy, too, but it does not fill me with positivity.

    The first time I took it, I took two 500mg capsules and felt something similar. Since then, I have only been taking 500mg and feel fine.

  Rhodiola is meant to be cycled, divide the duration you stay "on" by three, and that's how long you should be off it. Don't be "on" for more than 12 weeks. On/Off 3/1 6/2 3/9 12/4 > As with other adaptogens, administration of Rhodiola rosea should coincide with stressful situations only – athletic or otherwise – and periodic intervals of non-use should be observed. > Put it this way: once Rhodiola has enabled you to adapt to physical or environmental stress (training, dieting, work, etc.), you can't adapt any further. That's when you cycle off Rhodiola. Source: https://biotest.t-nation.com/products/rhodiola https://biotest.t-nation.com/products/rhodiola
