In reply to Why does SAMe make me so fatigued? » shellie, posted by Julie Ann on July 30, 2000, at 11:00:38
I had a doctor tell me recently that SAM-e can be augmented with the maximum daily dosage of Vitamin B-6 (not the complex, just the B-6). He says it enhances the SAM-e properties and can help to reduce the fatigue that some people get. Just want to share that.
