Ill research more but can u tell me first hand if it makes you jittery at all? I understand its a naturally occuring chemical in the body but wondered if theres any kind of side affect like that for you? Thank you, and to clarify I wasnt being a smarta** and telling u something u already know..was just saying thats prob why u dont see mmluch of it around here...that and also i have actually never heard of it before  |
Hi again. my SAM-e update.
I took it for 7 days 4oomg and now believe that this was way too much.
As I said I was hypomanic for the first three days but then slowly came down .on the fifth day I took half a tablet in the morning and half in the afternoon but returned to 400 mg in the morning on days six and seven.
I had a bit too much energy and my brain was on fire.
After the seventh day I stopped for days 8,9,10 and I still felt great.
On day 12 (TODAY) I started to feel a bit tired so I took half a tablet 200mg in the afternoon I am now completely relaxed and feeling fine.
Many people on web sites are commenting that manufacturers recommend way to much dosage to start with.
I am going to buy some 200mg SAM-e as cutting the 400mg tablets is not a good idea as they are coated and are specifically meant to be used whole.
good luck
I hope this helps.
