Well fancy meeting you over here, Gabbi!
I have a couple of factoids to throw in here...
Sam-e is now legal in the US (I've tried it briefly but couldn't tolerate the stomach upset.) L-tryptophan is not actually illegal now, just not generally available due to some contamination in the manufacturing process in the late 80's that made a bunch of people sick. I read that you can still get it safely by Rx, but it might not be so easy to find a doc to provide it. Some folks who liked L-tryptophan switched to 5-HTP, which is a precursor to serotonin. I tried that one too, no noticeable effect on depression.
