Just from reading your posts I get the impression you are somewhat bipolar. Of course you have been on and off medication quite a bit. If this is indeed the case though stims would likely send you into strong hypomania. SAMe could do this too. Overall, your being extroverted/ADHD/bipolar(?) off meds makes me think you are not under-methylated and thus not the best candidate for a good response to SAMe.
If you are indeed bipolar and try lithium but find it dampens your mental functioning too much, your best bet after that would be a anticonvulsant.
As far as supplements go you should be able to find grape seed extract OPCs from France that are not too expensive. The Pycnogenol (martime pine bark extract) from France is a bit more pricey. Phenylalanine and tyrosine should be cheap.
