Well, after about 2.5 weeks with a tincture and then switching to Perika for the last 16 days, I think I'm ready to throw in the towel. I really wanted it to work, but although I'm a little less edgy, it's not doing enough for my mood at 600 mg. I'd increase it, but the side effects are getting to me. Bloating, weight gain, constipation, munchiness, carbohydrate cravings, feeling stuffed after eating a tiny amount of food, belching. It's just not worth feeling uncomfortable.
I'm still feeling my way with SAM-e. I don't think I can take more than 200 mg. My pdoc suggested chopping it in half to 100.
After that, inositol maybe? Inositol + SAM-e?
Eating my way through the alternatives.
