I really thought my problems were over... unfortunately about 2 months after I started taking it , it basically quit working! I would try taking a higher and higher dose , but it did nothing to lift my spirits and just made me more jittery.

>Don't know for sure Jim. I've only ever tried one pkt of SameE ..but it was definitely the best AD I've ever tried by a long way for me.. and no side effects, except feeling better ;)
tapered off so packet probably lasted me a couple of months too :)Before I tried the SamE though I'd been taking some powder mix which would have built up my sulfates level .. a MSM, Chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine mix . This one http://www.epharmacy.com.au/product.asp?id=44244&pname=Wagner+MSM+Joint+Formula+with+MSM%2C+Glucosamine+%26+Chondroitin+250g
(only I bought it at Souls)Maybe something like that would build up your sulfate levels and make it more effective. Comes fairly cheap(AUD $22 approx, and lasted me a year) and probably worth a go?
I'm not certain if taking that mix for a month or two b4hand was why SamE was sooo effective with me or not?Jan
