> I am sorry I do not know the answer to your questions but I did want to ask you , from what you know trying this med do you think it would make a good sleep med? I wanna ditch Ambein IF I can but hate to not sleep...I have had Trazadone, Benedryl, Atrax, and more poop out on me...any natural method like this would rock if I can sleep

Since the third day to today, I'm not having such effect. It's giving me some muscle twitching, similar to SSRI's, but much less, i think.

Well I don't take it before I go to bed. I take it in the morning, and I think SAM-e is known not to take before you sleep. However, since takinig this, I sleep better at night. Anti-depressant effect is kind of gone now. I'm still waiting for reply to see if I have to up the dosage or not.
