d/r...is SAMe safe with a MAOI?
> i had run out recently and restarted...i've had lowgrade headache all this week, which i remember from last time i started. i guess is might also be because i cut down to 40mg parnate, so i don't run out before i get some $ to refill it...anyway it does seem to help slightly, but most everything that isn't parnate (or nicotine) i can't *really* tell if its helping; i just notice things that might be from the drug, and try to make myself believe its working. i might just be imagining it. i take 20mg/day, probably going up higher is needed for full response, though in animals subtherapeutic dose synergized with other ADs.
