JRB,
> Ron, sorry to hijack the thread here, but interesting thoughts on NADH though. I have been following your thread on this for a while. Sounds like you're enjoying lasting efficacy thus far.
Enada NADH is currently working very well but I'm still in the process of finding the correct dose. See my post in another thread:

>Have you ever tried anything like Selegiline that might be somewhat imilar to NADH's modulation of the dopaminergic/adrenergic pathway? just curious.
I've never tried Selegiline but it is on my list of medications that I want to try if Enada NADH poops out on me.
Last year I had five months of successful treatment of my atypical depression using SAM-e. I was (and still am) convinced that it was the dopaminergic effects of SAM-e that was providing the benefits. Unfortunately, after five months of a low dose (200 mg/day) of SAM-e, it turned against me and induced EXTREME IRRITABILITY (flash rage). Therefore, I had to discontinue it. I felt kind of sheepish when I had to discontinue it because I had been such an outspoken advocate of SAM-e on this board and elsewhere. Oh well, live and learn!
If you are interested, here is a link that briefly mentions the dopaminergic actions of SAM-e. There are better articles on the topic of the dopaminergic actions of SAM-e, but this is the first one I pulled up:
