Hi Frank...about two weeks ago I started taking ...SAM-e....it is alll natural and has so many benefits to taking it...THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT IS SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE A NUSEATED TUMMY WHEN FIRST TAKING IT...as too all of the side effects of CHEMICAL anitdepressants...The brand I am taking is by Jarrow. Says to take only 2 a day but i have researched on the internet and it says up to 1,200 mg...so I am playing around with it...It is a natural molucle which EVERY LIVING THING has this...Check it out I love it!!! From what I have read you do need to be off the anti-depressants so it can start to heal you...

Good Health and God Bless!

Check with the doctor before starting SamE if you are currently on Paxil. The two can be a dangerous mix together.

Vitamin D has been used at higher doses to treat 'seasonal depression' and is now widely used for general depression. I know several people on this theory and it has worked wonders.

Good Luck!
