In reply to Ron, Colin: Congrats on your SAMe coup!, posted by beardedlady on April 17, 2002, at 12:05:11
Ron - I love the message below, so thought I'd tag my update onto it. You and Colin must be in the super salesman league now; hope you get a nice trip to Hawaii.
I'm glad I kept on with the SAM-e trial as it's now going well. My depression is firmly under control and I have plenty of energy during the day and good concentration at work. The only downside is I'm still getting a small amount of breakthrough anxiety (my thyroid test was fine and I'm trying to ignore the skipping heartbeats). What I'm taking at the moment is:
300mg SAM-e (alternating 200 and 400 doses)
Omega 3 fish oil capsules (800mg EPA)
High dose Vitamin B complex
Sublingual Vitamin B12I'm still wondering whether to add some 5-HTP at bedtime for anxiety and sleep, but there doesn't seem to be much about it on this board, and a lot of the other web stuff is overtly promotional. I can't find anything about combining SAM-e and 5-HTP. Or what about GABA supplements: are they any use?
The other good thing is, if I do decide to go for baby number four, SAM-e appears to be safe during pregnancy.
Hope all is well with you, Ron, and thanks for your help.

> I am so very impressed! Today, I was in Safeway and found Nature Made SAMe! Not only is it in the regular supermarket, but it's in a display in the produce section! I was buying my vidalias, and there it was! Naturally, I thought of you. Congratulations on the new account.
