In reply to SAM-e!! please respond!!, posted by AJ on March 6, 2001, at 9:56:31
I have taken Nature's Rx SAM-e for over 2 years. I take 300 mg (1 and 1/2 pills) each morning with 20 mg Celexa. But I am not bipolar. I have unipolar depression and dysthymia. The combo works very well for me.
I'm not sure if SAM-e is really for bi-polar but I don't know for sure. I have heard of people who feel to jittery on Nature's Rx who do better on Nature Made.

I started experimenting with alternatives (SAM-e + kava + st.john's wort) and became manic (really more mixed state) this fall and winter. Now I'm only on 200mg. of "nature's rx" SAM-e, but am finding that about an hour after taking it I am shaky, panicy, feel like I'm gonna crawl out of my skin--almost like the akathisia I used to experience on SSRIs.
