Shellie,
Thanks for the info. I was at Sam's Club (probably like Costco) and they were selling Nature made SAMe at about 55 cents per pill (used to be about $1 per pill). I failed to look at the mg of each pill, tho. I will go check it out again.Have you tried SAMe? Any success? How is the Adrafinil doing now that you have some? have you decided to go ahead and start with it?
I appreciate your response--

> Well, the odds are quoted as 70% for success with sam-e. It's expensive, but there are few side effects. It can cause a bit of stomach discomfort, first try it without food (its better absorbed that way), if you feel too uncomfortable try with acidolphilous. It may also make you feel a bit jittery, but generally that goes away. You should be taking vitamin B6 and folic acid with it. (If you can find Richard Brown's Stop Depression Now, that's the bible). And you should be taking Nature's Made Brand--which I understand is cheapest at COSCO's or on the internet. You start at 400mg and keep going up by 400 every week. If you've hit 1600 and don't feel better, it's not the drug for you. shellie
