I take only one 1000 mg capsule in the AM, and don't notice much while taking it, BUT when i stopped for a week I went into a major depression. It might help to tell you I suffer from Bipolar 1 and OCD. I also take Neurontin, Klonapin, and Sam-e.

The dose required varies widely.I notice an article in this month`s issue of Archives of General Psychiatry where a small dose was of significant benefit to those taking other medication for depression.
