Well, we were not too far apart as I was living in Okinawa, Japan at the time. I was working for the Japanese goverment on a program and was not taking care of myself as I should have been doing. I had started working out a month before the depression (Okinawan karate) and my body was just not recovering and something had to give. The Japanese like to drink and that did not help my body either.
Thanks for the advice on the med tapering. I really want to start the sam-e as soon as possible and will talk to the doc about tapering the nortryptline slowly and adding the sam-e. I really like the type of combination you are currently on and hope I may achieve something similiar.
Did you have any sleep disturbance with your depression? How about any agitation? It is hard to know for sure if sleep disturbances lead to depression or if the reverse it true for me. All I know is that I do push myself hard and like the motor to run quite fast. I love the feeling a good workout gives me and miss it. I slept great last night so today is fine (I think my body has recovered from the workout??). I appreciate the info you and Ron have passed on to me. Is there anything I should watch for when purchasing sam-e? Take care!
