> > I am on 10 grams of Omega 3 Fatty Acid, 450 mg of wellbutron, 300 mg of 5htp and 1600 mg. of SAMe and yes, I have noticed the difference since being on this dose of SAMe for 5 months. The best deal is to buy it at Costco, or similar place. Wendy

> Could you give me a schedule of how long you've been on 5HTP and SAMe only, and at what dosages (i.e. SAMe for 1 month @ 400mgs, etc.). Could you also chart your progress? I would be eternally grateful. I'm currently @ 800 mgs a day of SAMe, but feel as if an increase is just throwing $$ out the window. I had a great initial reaction to SAMe, but its lost at least 1/2 its effectiveness (I've been taking it for 1 1/2 months). Also, I buy it 60 pills for $45. I hear its the same price at Costco. Am I right?James here....
The problem here is that depression is not caused by a lack of nutrents taken into the body. There is also a feedback loop which sloffs off excess l-trip or any percursor taken in, past a point. Even mc Donalds food has lots of L-trip, so as long as you eat regulary you get the percursors to make neuro transmitters.
I'm not saying don't supplement, it is a good idea
to make sure you get everything you need to live, but don't expect these kind of supplements to have big AD effects. It just does not work that way.james
