Thanks for the refs. Very interesting. I am using some fish oil, though probably not enough. SAM-e is increasing my motivation and ability to get things done, which is a huge improvement. And it seems to be mood brightening, also very helpful.
The mood brightening effect has a bizarre quality to it, though. It feels sort of superficial compared to when I've had good response to ADs. It feels as though all the depressed emotions are still there, including suicidal thoughts, plus lots of anger, and the stimulation from SAM-e is plowing roughshod over them and trying to suppress them. Does that make sense? It is difficult to describe. I'm not sure what I think about it. I feel a little disconnected from myself and my memory and concentration are sketchy. However, getting more done will probably help with some of the things that are contributing to the depression. I'll go with it for a little while longer.
