Out of curiousity, is SAM-e still effective on your unipolar depression? Thanks.

> I have taken Nature's Rx SAM-e for over 2 years. I take 300 mg (1 and 1/2 pills) each morning with 20 mg Celexa. But I am not bipolar. I have unipolar depression and dysthymia. The combo works very well for me.

I started experimenting with alternatives (SAM-e + kava + st.john's wort) and became manic (really more mixed state) this fall and winter. Now I'm only on 200mg. of "nature's rx" SAM-e, but am finding that about an hour after taking it I am shaky, panicy, feel like I'm gonna crawl out of my skin--almost like the akathisia I used to experience on SSRIs.
