"Pharmacology and possible mechanisms: SAM-e appears to increase serotonin turnover, inhibit the reuptake of Norepinephrine in a temperature-dependent fashion, and to augment dopaminergic activity. SAMe also increases folate levels and donates a methyl group to catecholeamines (Baldessarini, 1987)."
It's the donation of the methyl group that's supposed to help so much.
