In reply to No studies been done comparing oral SAMe to SSRIs, posted by 3 Beer Effect on April 28, 2002, at 11:01:06
I just bought the Nature Made 200 mg SAMe 80 pack for $36 from Costco. I take a Centrum Multivitamin that has the 100% RDA of everything every day- is it necessary to take additional vitamins in order for SAMe to work properly?
The instructions say to take 400 mg/day, but i've also heard that many people only take 200 mg/day- I figured i'd just do what the Nature Made instructions say, especially since in many SAMe studies the subjects were usually taking large doses, something like 800-1200 mg intravenously. Do you get more side effects by starting out at 400 mg?- I have to go to work tommorrow, I can't be in the bathroom the whole time!
About how long does it take to respond to SAMe usually?I'm not getting any anti-depressant response so far from Lamictal 175mg, which I am titrating to 200 mg on Friday. Nothing else seems to work & these psychiatric drugs (Lamictal, Dexedrine, Klonopin, Sonata) are probably doing a number on my liver so I figured I might as well give SAMe a shot. I think SAMe & Milk Thistle are the only liver repairer supplements available.
