At the height of my chelation therapy(*) I had very severe (death angst) panic attacks and significant anger issues and yes, phases of Depression too. I have to keep it short, but I had plenty of doctors, stacks of lab results and even a psychiatrist - there only was one explanation given the symptoms and how they developed over time: mercury. My Depression phases, however, were not so severe (well, unless you count the quite severe panic attacks that occurred for no real reason whatsoever), compared to how depressed I had occasionally but quite regularly felt before chelation.
The time between panic and anger attacks increased from their (sudden) height and intensity subsided, now very little is left and only rarely.
I can't tell you how much is too much, from my experience it all just SUCKS, there just IS no easy way out. I was unable to work for a long time because my head was useless. However, on the bright side, now I can think as well as when I was much younger again - I do a lot of Science learning to test my new brain and have started studying math. I studied CS so that's not new to me, I already know much of it, but that has the advantage that I can compare how I dealt with that stuff 15 years ago and compare it with today. It seems recovery is possible. However, people are different (genetics, how much mercury) and I won't actively try anyone to do what I did, because as I said, for many years life very often really, really sucks, no matter how you try it, and my suspicion is (also from reading other people's experiences) that if you try to do it "softly" and "slowly" you may as well not do it. IMHO you need chelators and lots of them, for a long time. I say this because I see so many people immediately hitting the forums when they start feeling bad. My message: Get used to it and don't get freaked out.
My experience from the time when I started using the Cutler method: At first I had to deal with many very uncomfortable issues and even though Cutler/DMSA clearly helped it occasionally I was left with increasing problems that a one-time treatment with a DMPS infusion (2 ampules not just 1!) swept away completely. According to *my* (limited) personal experience DMPS is just better in the beginning and the middle phases. Also, high dosage ALA have great effects when DMPS and DMSA don't seem to be achieving much any more, in other areas of the body it seems to me (brain, bones), but it's nice to also take at least DMSA to help the ALA. My violin instructor asked me just a few days ago if I had been practicing a lot more, because the 2 weeks prior (I see her twice/week) had been horrible, I was really bad even with simple sheet music. No, I had in fact practiced LESS - but a few days prior I had ended a 12 day Cutler round with a lot more ALA than usual (100mg DMSA, 300mg ALA every 3hrs - as you can see I can sort of tolerate quite a lot of that stuff by now), which had caused a lot more symptoms than usual, much of it neurological (brain).
(*) 3.5 years, very good results (many unexpected!), 2 years mostly DMPS infusions (and DMSA with it), then ALA and then I switched to Cutler with DMSA and ALA, not because it is better in general (I would still start with high pulse dosage DMPS into the blood, not capsules, if I had to do it again) but because there is not enough left for DMPS and NOW Cutler turns out to be better (for how I feel). I also got DMPS into the crease next to the jaw bones, all quadrants, where the Amalgam fillings had been - that experimental treatment turned out to be a huge success. My bone was mushy, the needle went right in, but no more, seems the DMPS allowed the body to start healing itself. Just saying this to show I've real physical prove of Amalgam as the culprit, not just easy-to-ignore "feelings".
