I believe today was day 9. I'm up to 800mg/day (seems to be the most common daily dosage I'm seeing around the internet). Nothing has matched the great feeling of day 4 yet, but I do feel a little more even or balanced than I did before starting the SAM-E, and my energy seems to be improving. Insomnia seems no better or worse than without SAM-E. I've gotten a few things done in the past few days that I had been putting off for months. In a way, the SAM-E is making me feel like I've had a couple extra cups of coffee, but without caffeine jitteriness...just picking me up enough that getting something done doesn't feel like a lost cause. So far, zero effect on my social anxiety, but I don't think it's supposed to be helpful for that. There's a phone call to a stranger I've been needing to make for 4 weeks that I just can't bring myself to make (I usually email/text anytime I have to contact a person I don't already know well, but that won't work in this case).

I've felt pretty calm overall, but the interesting thing I've noticed is that my mind which has been really tied up in knots lately totally lost, confused, and basically playing chess against itself, has been working double or triple-time the past few days trying to solve my problems and come up with a way to fix the mess my life is stuck in. It's strange because it's kind of exhausting and I can't really stop it, but I'm also feeling like some of the knots are getting untangled in the process. Who knows...maybe in six months, my life will make sense again if this keeps up.

At any rate, I'm noticing similarities to SSRI's without the horrible side-effects. I hope I continue to notice a change...
