Google says about rhodiola rosea:
Its roots are considered adaptogens, meaning they help your body adapt to stress when consumed. Rhodiola is also known as arctic root or golden root, and its scientific name is Rhodiola rosea. ... People in Russia and Scandinavian countries have used rhodiola to treat anxiety, fatigue and depression for centuries.
You can try the herbal medication it can be very effective but you have to make it a routine, its like taking herbal sleeping pills. They work when you make a routine out of taking them for some time. There is no complete guarantee they will work. Herbal tablets are definitely more safer than over dosing on prescriptions. They can have side effects, just be cautious when you try them. Tell your doctor about this and see if they agree with you, in trying this herbal medication.
