There is a new SSRI called Lexapro. It works really well for me and lots of people. Have you tried that one? How about Effexor? That is a very effective antidepressant which is not an SSRI.
SAM-e is very expensive and insurance does not cover it. I have seen some people who report benefits but not that many.

I was thinking of trying a product called SAM-e and was wondering if anybody out there has any experience or has heard of it?
