Hi Ron,
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner (I was out of town for 10 days, at my in-laws. UGH)I appreciate your response, and I'm glad to hear SAM-e worked so well for you. I remember seeing a long thread where you discuss your success with SAM-e, but if you don't mind I'll still throw out some questions to you ...
1. what is your diagnosis?
2. are you on other meds?
3. did SAM-e have side effects for you?
4. have you tried the Omega 3 fatty acids? My pdoc just mentioned that to me as a possible option, but neither one of us have much info. on it. I remember seeing a thread about that, too -- I'll have to get busy researching those posts!I was able to post a quick question to Dr. Kramer while I as away about SAM-e, and he said he wouldn't recommend it for bipolar -- I was recently diagnosed as BPII (however, I'm a bit skeptical about that diagnosis. Depression, definitely. Anxiety, definitely. Bipolar? I don't know.)
Well, thanks again for your response!

We all seem to have similarities in our med reactions, so was just curious if you've tried SAM-e, or have any information on it.
