I actually tried SAMe a month or so ago and I noticed the effects within a few weeks. Since having ME/CFIDS I haven't felt "normal" -- low libido, low "fight or flight" response, etc. After being on it for a couple of weeks, I actually had "fireworks" again with my partner! This was a big plus.
Unfortunately, I had to quit it because it irritated my stomach. I am prone to gastric erosion, but I had such a good experience with it, I'd like to see if I can find a form of it that is buffered or otherwise gentle on the stomach. Do you know of any available that would be available to me in the U.S.?
What has your experience with tianeptine been like?
Cat's Claw -- I didn't notice any of the supposed anti-inflammatory or antidepressant qualitites it is purported to possess. However, I was impressed with how effectively it brought my WBC back into the normal range in a short period of time.
Peace,
