In theory, I take 200mg BID along with Wellbutrin XR and Concerta. It's helpful, I think, although just now I'm in a very bad way despite it all. I have trouble with the second dose of it, too, because it should be taken on an empty stomach, so I often forget to take the second dose. I suspect I might feel a bit better if I were more consistent about that...
When I first started taking it, I was also taking Prozac -- along with the others mentioned above -- and was aware of a great improvement right away. Unfortunately, I don't do well with SSRIs, so had to stop the Prozac. It may have been the Prozac that caused the initial improvement, or it may have been the SAMe. I don't know.
Obviously, since you've been taking far more than I, it's not exactly parallel, and probably not very helpful. But, it's what I got, and so I'm passing it on.
