Johnnybaklava,
Thank you for your quick response. I would have to say that my response pattern to supplements is probably similar to yours in the sense that some of the supplements that I take continue to have subtle benefits. The folic acid, coenzyme q10, Korean ginseng, DHA, and vitamin B12 that I take all seem to do a little something, mostly for my depressive symptoms, even though they don't have the impact on my concentration that I feel that I need. I may keep taking the SAM-e that I'm taking, even if it seems to lose most of its effects on my concentration and other depressive symptoms at this new higher dose, because it seems that it might have still been helping with my overall cognition even when it seemed to poop out as an antidepressant. So, maybe this SAM-e will continue to help me down the road in subtle ways (along with the other supplements that I take) even if it does seem to poop out again at this higher dose that I'm taking.
Anyway, thanks again for posting and for letting me know which supplements seem to give you at least a foundation for mental well being. I'm sorry that you still seem to have the same kind of problem that I have with supplements becoming less effective, though, and I wish you well with any more supplement trials that you might undertake.
