> Yesterday, after much wrangling, I persuaded my GP to lavish me with free Zoloft.(only after rhythmically banging my head on her desk in an effort to explain that Sam-e does not, in combination with ssri's, lead to sertonin syndrome- her canny explanation for my previous ssri overreactions- which were actually caused by singly administered ssri's at too high doses).
Colin,
Any permanent damage to the GP's desk? IMHO, some GP's and pdocs should spend less time being spoon fed by the drug company reps and more time doing some independent research.
> So now I'm at 200mg sam-e, 12.5 mg zoloft, and doing quite well.
Stay in touch regarding the long term effectiveness of this combo.
> I don't have any knowledge of Lamactil quite honestly, but I can say that sam-e has no known drug interactions, other than its ability to induce mania in bipolars (like any other antidepressant).Ron Hill safely uses Sam-e with a mood stabalizer.... but then again, he's madder than a pumpkin....
I think SAM-e could compliment Lamictal quite well. And yes you're correct, I do like pumpkin pie. How'd ya know?
