I take alot more than 500mg, actually 3000mg a day in two doses. I would say try at least 1000mg and you should notice it in about two hours. Usually QUercetin tabs are tightly packed and I think they are absorbed in the small intestine so it takes a bit longer.
Last night my partner had a headache and I gave her two and she slept like a baby and woke up feeling fine.
For depression though you need to follow the other steps I have briefly outlined (ie: GLA and EPA) as well to feel better, Quercetin won't do the job on its own.
Obligatory warning: If you are taking an MAOI or other drugs you should take care and consult your doctor before trying this I guess.
The good thing about Quercetin is it knocks COX2 on the head for about a day.
Let me know how it goes if you do try it!
