Hi Ron
I tried putting the SAM-e up to 400mg last week, but it made me more agitated and impeded sleep, so I'm back down to 200mg a day, too.
At the same time, I developed flu, so have been feeling pretty bad with that, too. One worrying symptom I developed at the same time as both of these events is an irregular heartbeat, which feels as though it's 'skipping'. This happens about every 20 or 30 minutes.
The SAM-e seems pretty good at lifting the depression, but isn't doing much for my anxiety. Previously, the antidepressants I've used seemed to do both.
Do you think this skipped heartbeat is just due to anxiety, or could it be something to do with the SAM-e? Or is to something worse that I should REALLY be anxious about?!
Also, do you suffer from anxiety, and has the SAM-e helped you?
Thanks again.
Lizzy
