I'm so glad I found this site and am hoping to get some questions answered.
Does anyone here have any long term experience with sam-e? I've read through previous posts but hadn't seen any long term posts.
I'm currently on 15mg of remeron, tapered down from 30mg. This only partially worked for my depression, but banished the major panic attacks and allowed me to sleep. However, I've gained too much weight and am tired of feeling fat and unhealthy. I will take the remeron for another 3 days then stop. I asked my doc if I could take the remeron and sam-e, but he couldn't really give me an answer. If the sam-e is going to work, I'd like to give it a chance to kick in before I stop the remeron.
I've tried every known AD on the face of the earth and only the tricyclics worked. But, after stopping them due to weight gain, I'd go back on, only to find they didn't work again. Then I'd try another, etc, etc. After reading about alternative therapies, I'm thinking I shouldn't have to be unhealthy to be happy.
Anyone out there have any advice?
