This stack works for me for anxiety. Might be overkill, but it does the trick:
1. Rhodiola / Arctic root
2. Schisandra
3. Eleuthero
4. 5 htp
5. L dopa
6. He shou wu
Also get some tyrosine in during the day.
Doses, brands, timing?
Thanks!
Sure, no problem. I am linking to Iherb, not because I am a salesman for Iherb, but because i generally use them for these kinds of supplements. The doses below are "heavy", given that I am larger (6'4") and lift a lot of weights, so I have a lot more mass than the average person. You may want to consider halving all the doses below.
1. Rhodiola / Arctic root
Normally the Swedish Herbal Institute's Arctic Root - 500mg - 2 to 3 capsules in the morning, and then again in the afternoon. I am having trouble finding stock anywhere of this product - it might have been discontinued. Alternatives to this could include New Chapter's Rhodiola Force: http://www.iherb.com...24&sr=null&ic=1. or the Now and Jarrow brands. If any members have some experiences with different brands that they would like to share, I am all ears.
