> >Hi JohnL. Yes, I did try sam-e. I did a full trial of it in February, but unfortunately it caused an agitated depression in me. I went slowly up to 1600 mg, then finally had to say, that I was one of the 30% it didn't work for. Dr. Brown, who wrote a book on it and supervised my trial, gives it about a 70% chance of working--just like other anti-depressants. If it works, its great. No side effects (except some people do feel increased anxiety which he doesn't talk about in this book). It was really disappointing to me, but I'm glad I tried--at least now I know. ShellieShellie,
I know it's really soon to tell but how are you feeling so far on the Topamax? Better than a few days ago?
I'm hoping, right there with you, for the best.
Karen
