In reply to Why not inject SAMe -- I think that form is sold, posted by PhoenixGirl on February 23, 2001, at 18:08:33
I have been taking SAM-e for over 2 years - along with Celexa. It works well for me. Dr. Richard Brown is the country's foremost expert on SAM-e. I read his book. He is a psychiatrist at Columbia University in NY. In addition to his book, I have read articles quoting him. He prescribes oral SAM-e. I know that injectible SAM-e is available, but I have never heard of Dr. Brown or anyone else using it. There are many studies showing the effectiveness of oral SAM-e.
I would very strongly urge you not to order any injectible SAM-e from a foreign country. Who knows what they are putting into the solution. Go to a local store and buy a well known brand such as NatureMade. Also be aware that oftentimes, people take SAM-e along with other antidepressants as I do. You should coordinate your treatment with your doctor.
> On one of the overseas drug sites, injectable SAMe is listed. What are the pros and cons of taking it, do you think?
