Shellie,

> Julie Ann- I have to say I never heard of a fatigue problem with sam-e, but everyone's chemistry is different. Was sam-e the only thing you were taking? I'm stumped, because usually it is activating, yet people also sleep very well on it. Are you taking the B vitamins recommended? shellieI take Wellbutrin SR 300mg, Effexor SR 300mg, Neurontin 1800, and Melatonin and Trazadone for sleep at night.
My diagnosis is Severe Major Chronic Depression. I don't feel depressed due to the effects of all the medication I take. My main problem is that I am tired a lot, and I sleep 12 hours per day.
I use to take B-Complex Vitamins; however, I don't think they did not do me any good (and I was taking very good dosages of this supplement 3 times per day.)
I have one theory regarding my SAMe-sleep problem. Perhaps I feel sleepy because I take my 150mg Effexor SR at the same time I take the SAMe. (The Effexor alone does not make me feel sleepy, however.) I tried taking SAMe alone this morning, and, I think, I was less sleepy.
Why does SAMe make me feel sleepy?
