Got my first panic attack after two months taking that 500mg rhodiola thing

I've started taking Rhodiola extract 500mg once a day about two months ago. I felt a good improvement in energy in the end of my days. Also felt that the effect of caffeine (from coffee, taken 1-2 times a day) is increased.
Then I've got this panic attack while trying to sleep. I have no particular worries in life, nor phobias. I'm pretty sure it's something related to my rhodiola pills. I'm reading a lot about the subject and it seems we should really care about the dosage. So, be careful about that popular 500mg daily dosage in case you're looking for anxiety reduction. After reading some articles I'll be trying to split my pills in three and take about 166mg in the early morning. It seems to be the recommended dosage for the 'relaxing' side of rhodiola effect. Any related experience would be appreciate.
Btw, the one I take is the 10:1 extract 500mg Rhodiola from Absorb Health, in capsules.

Yep, I meant SR.
For MAOI to take place, do I need to ingest the whole plant or will a liquid extract produce the same effect?
Is it not possible to make all the material into a liquid form?

I could certainly make a version of our Super Rhodiola with an MAOI, if people would want that. I would pick the specific MAOI with the best affinities, though. Then I would do a pure synth of it. No reason to extract plant material, and get all the inactives.
