SAM-e Induced Hypomania Colon, Mitch, IsoM et al

Colon, Mitch, Isomer et al,

Since I have been such a strong (outspoken) advocate for SAM-e on this board lately, I want to also be sure to report any and all problems with the "medication" so as to provide a balanced view.

Please recall that I increased from 200 mg to 400 mg of SAM-e when I discontinued my low dose of Zoloft (12.5 mg/day) last week. Yesterday I began to feel a little hypomanic on the 400 mg/dose. Therefore, starting today, I've reduced my dose back down to 200 mg/day.

Colin, I suspect I would do better with two doses of 100 mg spread out during the day as opposed to one dose of 200 mg. Therefore, I may order some of those 100 mg tablets you found on-line a few weeks ago. Thanks again for sharing that site with me. If I take two 100 mg tablets it costs 83 cents/day, whereas, if I take one 200 mg tablet it costs 59 cents/day. Bottom line is that the divided dose would cost me an extra $7.20 per month (or $86.40 per year).

Someone that I have great respect for says "Over the lips, and through the fingertips, thoughts disentangle themselves". Prior to typing this post I was stubbornly resisting the idea of spending extra money solely to facilitate a divided dose. But now that I have it typed out and see it on paper (e-paper), I'm beginning to change my cheapskate mind.
