It's more expensive than alot of the other natural products, but it has almost no side effects. If it's the right thing you'll be more than happy. You can get it cheapest at the Wholesale dealers (Costco, BJs , Sams Club).

Tom,The first thing I've done is look up info on SAMe. As soon as my husband gets home from work we're going to Sam's Club to buy some. (I still don't feel I can go to work, so here I am!)
My doctor feels I should get a cat scan & try some other drug - you know, the same ole "it can't be from the paxil" stuff. Good grief, I will never understand most doctors. I will get better. That's a fact. And most importantly it's because of people like you & Crystal & all the other people's stories I've read.
Thank you for caring -
Garlin
