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.

Sorry for late answer. Yeah I've tried other Rhodiola brands, 2 swedish ones. They gave me similar effect without this type of anxious/stressed out feeling, however the energy wasn't as pronounced as Super rhodiola. I can get a bit anxious from stimulants but nothing too bad really. Seem to go in periods. Right now for instance, I can drink pretty large quantities of coffee without getting anxious/stimmed out. Maybe the potency of Super Rhodiola was too much for me at the given time, might benefit from lowering the dose and not combine it with caffeine (which I did, but in a very small amount as far as I can recall).

Maybe I should halve the dosage, and put in some other things to lower anxiety. I will think of some possible changes to try.
