Hi Troll. Try going to mothernature.com. They have all the info you may want on SAMe. It's also the cheapest if you decide to try it. SAMe is supposedly good for a lot of things. They warn Bipolars not to take it because of mania risk. But all drugs have that risk. I think they have to say that. A low starting dose might be a safe way to approach it. It is also used to kickstart an antidepressant in early treatment, and that's what I'm trying. I'll let you know in a couple weeks if it's worth the expense or not. JohnL.

> Hey Troll. I've been taking SAM-e for the last couple of days to give myself a break from 5-htp. 5-htp works great for Bi-polar 2 at 300mg's, 3 times per day on an empty stomach. after a while though you need a break and the SAM-e seems to work well. You need to take that on an empty stomach also and take Herbal Uptimes from 7-11. They give you the folic acid and b-12 necessary to make the SAM-e work. Good luck.
