Hi Colin,
I get Sam-e at an American chain drug store called CVS. I doubt they ship overseas, but you might check the web.
My doctor said I could safely try Prozac up to 50 and Effexor up tp 75 with sam-e. I'm going to try effexor. For what it's worth, I am in what seems to be a minority with wellbutrin. I had terrible anxiety--that "snarly" feeling you mention--and had to stop it. Only drug that ever did that to me. But... I know tons of people who tolerate it marvelously.
If you haven't read Richard Brown's book STOP DEPRESSION NOW, you should. It seems to be the definitive work on sam-e.
Good Luck,
Lia
