I got exposed to it back in my partying days, and the stuff was great for preventing post-ecstasy depression associated with serotonin depletion. I still take it occasionally for preventive maintenance. (I'm a bit prone to depression) Usual dose is 100mg cap 1x per day. A bottle of 50 can be found for around $15 at a health-food or supplement store.
