Dear AL - SAM-e is a compound which has apparently been used to successfully treat depression (and a number of other complaints) in Italy for 20 years. It took off in the US a couple of years ago, but seems virtually unknown over here in the UK. I've just started using the product recently and am no expert, but others on this board such as Ron Hill are very knowledgeable. A couple of overview articles can be found at depressionremedy.com and smartbodyz.com. It's quite difficult to get hold of SAM-e in this country, but you can order online from the States.
I think it's worth a try because - like you - I have been suffering with side effects from the ADs I've tried this time round. My experiences with GPs have also been unremittingly dire, and I live in an affluent area of London. Most of the people posting here know 10 times as much about depression and anxiety as the average GP!
Best wishes
Lizzy
