So you think its possible that while a higher dose is actully causing depression, a lower dose might have a positive effect? As you can tell, I dont know much about alternative health and these topics.
I've been taking 100mgs (50mg around 10am, 50 before bed) for almost a week now. I feel pretty normal up until around 4 or 5pm, and then crash and feel depressed for the rest of the evening. Very odd. I'm going to give it a few more days, then try something else instead. As you mentioned, it's more of a "dragging myself through life, I hate everything" feeling than a crying, sad sort of depression. A terrible feeling really. Thanks for sharing your experience.
