Jarrow Formulas Rhodiola Rosea - Effects?

I am experiencing very mixed effects with this herb, most times it's a slight mood improvement or reduced fatigue but then again I was taking St. John's Worts at the same time. Really what I am looking for is a natural herbal supplement that will reduce fatigue but in more in-your-face sort of way, in that the effects are very noticeable. Edit: I've placed in an order for Super Rhodiola sometime this mid-week, so I am looking forward to seeing how that compares to Jarrow's version.
I also hardly experience anything when I take Sulbutiamine: I've tried 200mg to 1000mg (500mg b.i.d.). Did the researchers scan the brains of the subjects after they were given Sulbutiamine?
I'm also taking 6 x fish oil which has 330mg EPA & 220mg DHA per softgel. So ~3g of EPA and DHA. I take all 6 in the morning or sometimes, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. Is this a bit too much? I've not noticed any negative effects, actually I feel like my vision has improved somewhat.
Jarrow Formulas® Rhodiola extract is standardized to contain a minimum of 5% rosavins, the highest potency available.

My experience with Super Rhodiola was actually pretty bad. First off it gave me much energy and some uplifting mood, but as the day past I found myself getting more and more stressed for every tiny thing in my surrounding. This even lasted on to the second day. Same thing second time trying it, I have no idea why I react like this

Have you tried other rhodiola types/brands? Do you usually get anxious when taking other stimulants?
In the future, please tell me when things do not work, or you do not like the products. I hate living in a bubble of only good reports, because the people with bad ones don't tell me. If I only get one side of the story, I will never be able to improve things.
