In reply to downside to sam-e?, posted by Lia Mason on February 23, 2002, at 16:32:15
I thought sam-e helped with inflammitory disorders (like arthritis)?
I know that the immune system is tightly linked into
depression. Generally depressives have higher than normal
levels of circulating corticosteroids. So maybe the sam-e
poop-out of depression is also correlating to poop-out
in the immune system.BTW, when the sam-e works, do you get weird dreams
kind of like what increased sertonin would do?-John
