Dee, I hear you. I know that dark place all too well. It breaks my heart to know you've been subjected to that horrible place. I think we can say that when we die we don't need to go to hell because we've already been there done that!
I feel so much for you. In typcial guy fashion though, I'll get right to the Mr Fix-it role. I don't think SAMe is the magic depression cure-all that it is touted to be. At least not for me. But I can say it definitely provides a bridge of relief to buy some time. If you have $20 and a Wal*Mart, try a box of NatureMade brand SAMe. Take on an empty stomach 2 pills in mid morning and 2 in mid afternoon. I think you'll feel better enough to get through the roughest times. Usually kicks in from day one to day three area.
The feelings you describe are not unusual for Serzone. Were you feeling this bad before Serzone? Or did it come on after Serzone? Any doctor would probably say more time and more dosage is needed for a good assessment, but that's easy for them to say! Most have no clue of the nature of that dark dark dark place. I reiterate I truly think SAMe is worth a try to buy you some time and quick relief. I say this because I know that dark place and SAMe does help enough to see light and feel relief. I want very much for you to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I can't think of anything faster than SAMe to get you over the hump and I hope it's OK for me to share this tip with you. Hang in there Dee, we're with you! JohnL.
