Confounding is i moved up to 70mg on way to 90mg. I may take it every other day. Unfortunatly SAMe is very diva-y and i can't split the 200mg pills. I also drink a ton of green tea, which contains some thigns that are COMT inhibitors, further muddling things.
Jade or others who have MAOI fatigue: please try taking creatine to see if that helps. I take creatine anyways...have for years...so i can't do experiment. Like most psychic engergisers it has potential to induce switch in bipolars so if this is a risk for someone don't use 'loading' method, just take regular serving and let it slower build up to levels needed. While not as potent, this is a safe and very cheap way to potentially get most of the benefits here, at least for the energy/fatigue stuff on MAOI. I'm really curious if this could help. I can't find any studies on creatine and MAOIs (I mean if its actually helpful, not for saftey, i'm quite sure its safe).
I'd also be curious for input on the theory side of things if anyone has any.
