> Thank you, JohnL. I will consider SAM-e, but are you shure that
neuroleptic can be combined with mood stabilizer? That scares me
a little.
Also, I read in your earlier post you mention some internet site
for combinations with reboxetine.

What do you think about reboxetine combined with SNARI such as venlafaxine?
Plus Neurontin of course.

> In my experience either or both of these seem to really do well as add-ons to other medications. They have both mixed well with Lamictal (same class as Neurontin), Adrafinil, or Amisulpride. Either SAM-e alone or SJW alone for me don't do much, but when added to something else they can be quite surprising. The only bad combo I've ever stumbled onto with these was Paxil+SJW.
> They are easy, cheap, and it's something you could start today. Of the two, SAM-e would work the fastest if it is to work. Maybe start there. Don't rule out these 'natural' alternatives. They really can work wonderfully. It's worth a shot. Of the two I think SAM-e would be the better compliment to your ongoing meds.
