After your done experimenting and reporting on SAM-e, could you try and reported on Pregnenolone, Ginkgo Biloba, or N-Acetyl-Cysteine? Thanks for documenting your experience on SAM-e. |
I tried Ginkgo several years ago and didn't notice any effects whatsoever. I will likely get some St. John's Wort to add to the SAM-E since SJW has seemed helpful in the past and is fairly inexpensive...hoping that the two combined will be even better than the SAM-E alone.
I really think the SAM-E is working. Today felt like a day when I ordinarily would've been really down. I still feel a little bit of the sinking ship feeling, but it's not nearly as intense or disruptive as it usually has been on a day like this in the past.
I bought some fish oil today to start taking. I've tried it many times in the past with no noticeable improvements, but maybe it will help out the SAM-E a little or vice versa.
