Ron,
Yes, I would like your dosing regimen. I was taking NADH for a while because its supposed benefit to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I recall that it did perk things up considerably but it was so expensive at that time that I could no longer justify the expense with the effect. My depressions usually go from vegetative to agitated so I never know which middle ground is safe. I think I'll try it again for my husband. He gets into 'the gray zone' where he sits around and plays computer solitaire for hours and hours, no motivation, sighs alot. He doesn't realize he's really depressed until I mention it.I'm sorry to hear about your slide into depression. Sometimes there's nothing to be done about it except wait for the chemicals to shift and trust that they will. Of course, one of the hallmarks of depression is no trust. Given the choice I'd take anergic over agitated anyday. At least you can sleep through the worst of it, instead of pacing and wailing which I tend towards.
It sounds like NADH is doing the trick. I've recently read that it's helping Parkinson's patients as well because it works primarily on increasing dopamine and to a lesser extent NE. Have you ever tried a pstim along with your med regimen? I personally like the idea of NADH better than an amphetamine, however, you might have a real need for that dopamine zing.
