Hi there

 

I am really curious to hear how you do on these.  I am presently taking SAM-e and it has been a godsend for me.  I feel more energized...productive...I don't have any side effects except now and then to feel some stomach upset.  But rarely now.

 

It is interesting that your doctor has chosen non-prescription remedies...is this person your general practitioner?

 

Please do get back with us about how these work for you.  I wish you the best of luck.

There is an article written by Merely Me about Sam-e here. Don't know about the tryptophan though.

I took Sam-E somewhere around Oct/Nov last year and it didnt seem to help me. I just quit taking 5-htp which has tryptophan in it. Seemed to decrease my anxiety levels.
