It is not uncommon to feel better while taking a chelator like DMSA or DMPS. Some do well on one, poorly on the other. Varies.

The absolute best antidepressant action I have ever felt is on day 2 through day 4 of a low dose frequent dose round of DMSA. After that I start feeling worse. I am pretty sure it is a combination of two things:

-Yeast loves sulfur and mercury...as chelation goes on, yeasts overgrowth occurs rapidly unless efforts are taken to prevent it, and yeast feels really bad, worse than the depression you started with. But until that happens, removal of mercury feels like 20 years younger before depression even hit.
-The body gets so backed up trying to clean out all these toxins in a short time. Thus the need for breaks and an excellent detox support protocol. But until it gets blocked up, it feels good to feel normalish.

I would suggest studying the methods of PHd Andrew Cutler's Amalgam Illness protocol. It is basically:
Low dose oral DMSA or DMPS, every 4 hours around the clock for DMSA, every 8 hours around the clock for DMPS (in respect of their half lives to keep a steady blood level and avoid redumping of stirred up mercury). After a couple months, add low dose Alpha Lipoic Acid which is dosed every 3 hours around the clock.

3 days on, 4 days break, 5 days on, 7 days break, 2 days on, 2 days break...whatever, the length of rounds and breaks has to be determined by how you feel.

Absolutely do not do IV chelation. That has created numerous scary complications due to redumping of huge amounts of mercury when the halflife of the med expires. Permanent neurological damage and worsened condition prior to starting is not uncommon. Very risky.

There is good evidence with Cilantro and Chlorella combination. But no one is sure of dosing timing or sizes.

I wonder where the mercury came from? Amalgams? Ate a lot of fish? Lived near an industrial area? If none of those, did your mother have amalgams?

The mercury atoms screw up so many biological functions it is ridiculous. You couldn't even count them all. Not to mention clogging up receptor sites where serotonin, dopamine, magnesium, thyroid, and everything else, are supposed to go. It is no wonder I feel a profound antidepressant effect when mercury is removed. As you briefly experienced yourself.

If chelation is in your future, as it should be, feel free to ask questions any time. I hate to admit it, but I do know a ton about this topic. Glad to help. And get that book.

No one at pbabble likes to believe that a real illness is behind their emotions. Whether it be mercury or Lyme or immune dysfunction or intestinal dysbiosis or whatever, they just want to somehow fix serotonin or dopamine. And they wonder why none of the psyc meds work very well. Gee, go figure. You mean, Prozac isn't going to chase those mercury atoms out? :-)
