Hello John and Blueberry...

I don't have the anger, but still, this sounds familiar -- I have high high anxiety -- like some other posters on the internet, feelings of doom and tightness in the chest, and restlessness, insomnia, heart racing, -- all this STARTING on the 5th day of 200 mg of Jarrow SAM-e in the morning. I only took it for 5 or 7 days. I'm a female in my late 20s and have a slim build.

John, I could be experiencing a form of withdrawal... not sure, because now that it's been 7 or 8 days since I STOPPED taking it, I am still back and forth on the anxiety/heart racing. My mood is definitely depressed/low/fearful - have been honing in on one issue (romantic relationship) and being very catastrophic and paranoid about it. Now my appetite has decreased. Hard to concentrate. The fact I had no workout regimen previous to this month is coming back to bite me in the *ss. My nervous system is in a sympathetic state (or parasympathetic, whichever term that is). Like on the verge of a panic attack. Has my body assumed the fear will continue? Even after a week, has it "gotten used to" the racing anxiety? Is it mimicking, fearfully, what happened a week ago?

<<I have read in a few places that with SAMe it is important once you have a decent response to start reducing the dose to a lower maintenance dose, because it has an accumulating effect that can build up to too much overload if you keep taking the same dose every day.>>

Blueberry, or Dr. Bob, have you heard anything about what can be done to counteract the effects of a SAMe build-up? ...Maybe I should have known better... I am extremely sensitive to STIMULANTS, medication and things that go in my body,... and while I was not fully depressed or anxious before, I feel I am now! ...Talking with people helps... I feel like I need to go to the doctor/holistic health person! Please send any prayers/good thoughts my way that you can.

And best wishes/blessings to you.
