Hi, excuse me for my awful english, but i think you could understand me anyway.
Ron, I'm on sam-e since last month, and i've started going on 800 mg/d.
I began to feel first effects after only few days, the effects seems to have stabilized after two weeks, but i now think the there is a slowly enhance week by week and even actually it happends (1200 mg/d).
For me the effectiveness of sam-e has been the best i have ever reported: I was on every kind of Ad's with no significative right effects and heavy side-effects (dizzy, drowsy, weakness,...).
If i realize that on sam-e i have no side effects at all i must say that sam-e for me was not comparable to another AD.Bearded, I've read a lot of report in use of B Vitamins for best effect of Sam-e.
My daily protocol is this:
B1 250 mg
B6 250 mg
B12 500 mcg
Folic acid 400 mcg.Bye
