In reply to SJW + SAM-E?, posted by anita on February 4, 2000, at 22:49:51
There are tons of clinical trials on SAMe. But none in combination with SJW. I agree with Cam that it is questionable to use combinations that haven't been studied or well understood. But for that matter, most of the prescription combos we use commonly haven't been studied either and are not well understood. Even the best explanations of how antidepressants work are still just theories. If we wait for certain combinations to be studied and approved, we might be waiting a long long time. When I think of combos of MAOIs+stimulants+TCAs used commonly in the old days, something like SJW+SAMe sounds pretty tame in comparison.
