sam-e side effects

Posted by Rik Sharaj on May 19, 2005, at 3:21:23

I have been taking (200 ml) of sam-e for 7 days now and I felt great the first few days, like a million bucks I said. I was amazed , but after that I started having indigestion and feeling very very tired around 4-5 pm, which lasts for the rest of the day.
After the 6th day I tried taking one in the afternoon but that seem to push my metabolism a bit and I noticed more vivid dreams and visions.
I will try the folic acid and B-12 asap.
I cant belive there is no side effects reported on this.
These is not psychosomatic. I am 53 years old but this does not seem normal. It feels like I having withdrawals if I dont have a pill now that its 6:45 pm and I am feeling disoriented and very light headed.
Next day, I started feeling very achey bones and very foggy all day, even with the B-12/ folic acid.
maybe the dosage was too much, 200 mg twice a day.

The dose for depression goes up to 1600mg/d. When I was on 800mg/d and stopped I really missed it and didn't feel good, so what you say is no surprise. It doesn't suit everyone, some people find it irritating and too stimulating. Has it affected your sleep adversely?
