Back to SAMe (apologies if this is redundant)

Posted by Carol on November 1, 1999, at 10:52:14

Anybody who uses it know how long it takes to work? Could it be used for just a pick-me-up for a few days or weeks, while waiting for a new prescription to "kick in"? I'm really interested in finding something that works short term, and has an effect within a day (or preferably a couple hours, okay, I'm pretty sure no such thing exists. Never hurts to ask!)
Again, sorry if this has been covered.

My SAMe kicked in on day 5. But I eventually had to increase from 2 to 6 pills per day (@.75 a pill). I still need more, but I'm drawing the line there. It is the only "med" (not really a med, but an amino acid) I can tolerate. It can be used in combination with an AD or by itself. I have zero side effects on it, but it treats depression at only about 40% efficiency (but my symptoms are severe). If you are moderately depressed, or less, give it a try. Only drawback is $$.
