In reply to SAM-e is working, posted by Susie on April 29, 2000, at 11:14:13

Hi again,
The SAMe is fantastic. I've been able to work for the first time in a long time. I'm actually enjoying some time spent alone. I'm sleeping well at night. Yeah!!
But I have to say that SAM-e is NOT without side effects.
Thanks Leighwit for posting about the hypogycemia. I haven't had that problem yet but I take 1000 mg of Chromium a day already to combat the low sugar.
The worst side effect of the SSRI's is the same with SAM-e too. Although not as bad. I still have a sex drive but the orgasms are delayed. I also am breaking out a bit on my face. Maybe thats just stress from working? Who knows.
But I sure do feel better.
This Joy stuff is going to take a little while to get used to again!
God Bless you all and please don't give up the search.

> Hi all. I just want to share with you my experience with SAM-e. It's a "supplement" here in the states and a drug in Italy.
> I've been taking it for about a month now and it's working for me. I've had 12 years of depression starting with the birth of my first son. I know this disorder way too well. I've taken Prozac, paxil, serzone, effexor, zoloft, trazadone, well, you get the picture. I've been on a mission for a few years to get some serious relief. I was on Wellbutrin just prior to starting with this. The Wellbutrin was great for about 8 months and then the depression was back and I started having severe memory problems. I just couldn't take it any more.
> Within a week of the SAM-e I starting feeling a lot better. Ceaning my house was the first indicator that it was working. I went dancing!! It was so fun. I put makeup on. Sorry guys, I know you won't relate. Sex drive came back. Yippee!!
> Anyhow, I'm sure this is not something that will work for everyone. I just needed to let others know that its working for me.
> SAM-e is very expensive. Just about a dollar a tablet. I tried a cheaper brand (NaturesRX) that I see advertised all over the net and it made me feel horrible. Like it was loaded with caffiene. My heart rate went up and so did my blood pressure.
> Now I'm just sticking with the NaturMade product which has been tested by GoodHousekeeping and found to be what its says it is. I'm taking 1600 mgs per day with a B100 tablet and something called TMG.
> A good place for more information is www.lef.org. Thats the place where I first learned of this stuff 2 years ago. They have all the studys and protocols that an MD would appreciate too.
> This disorder robs us of so much life. I cant even remember the first 5 years of my childrens' lives. It absolutely breaks my heart. So we have to find an answer. I hope that you're like me and you don't ever give up. God Bless.
