You might need to add in folate to balance the B12 as well. SAM-e works for some people in varrying dosages - anywhere from 200-1600 mg. a day - so your cost would vary considerably based on dosage required.

You know in researching the price of TMG for Scott, I ran across some of those old posts of mine and I feel so embarrassed. I just went on and on - drilling poor Larry about every supplement in the world. Desperation was talking. Hopefully people understand. At least there was humor in some of them.
In getting back to your question,
I tried the Rhodiola and it didn't go well at all. It started out ok but ended up making me feel sick and very tired. Similar situation with Perika SJW. They're both thought to be quite dopaminergic. Now that I know about my dopamine autoreceptor problem, I understand my reaction. I haven't tried the TMG yet. I got no response whatsoever to SAM-e even though I was taking 1200 mg. a day so I'm not optimistic about it. Larry thinks it may work for me even though SAM-e didn't so it's still on my list to try.
How about you? Have you tried either of them?
