Anyone had experience taking SAM-e?

Asked by aviona (3260points) March 31st, 2009

@koldblue recommended it to me in another thread to help control mania and depression. I bought some today and going to talk to my doctor about it. I have been doing research about it online and it seems like good stuff. Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience taking it for mood disorders/depression? I know it can also help with liver functions and arthritis.

@a
Is this a supplement or herb?

@SeventhSense it’s a supplement that’s naturally occurring in our bodies…mostly in the brain.

I’d be careful if you’re bipolar. Talk to a doctor. That stuff is known to increase Mania in bipolar people.
