Hi Ron.About a 1 1/2 years ago, I was "in between" drugs. I was in real bad shape. I was hoping to use something as a bridge to get me through the waiting period between a change in doctors. I had spent most of the summer in a very strange state of a worsened depression that seemed to have mutated in conjunction with exposure to a combination of lamotrigine + gabapentin + sulpiride + modafinil. It was an unfamiliar state to me, and I can't remember a time when my consciousness was so dampened and numbed. Things seemed real strange, and I couldn't figure out how to do the simplest things. It was at this point that I decided to try taking S-AMe, hoping that it would help me to avoid committing suicide (or some such thing).
After the very first dose (200mg I think), I perceived an increase in mental energy, but it felt somewhat uncomfortable. I was terrified to continue with it because I was afraid that it might screw-up my brain function more than it already had been by the previous drug trial. I take a vitamin B-Complex 50 every day, along with a multi-vitamin, vitamin-C 1000mg., and vitamin-E 800mg.
Thanks, Ron.
Sincerely,
Scott
