Thanks much, Cindy!

This is how I do it: Bring up the web page of interest; block, and copy (under Edit) the website address presented in the address bar of your browser; go to the pbabble dialog box where you want the link to appear; and then click paste (under Edit).
> I did take 200 mg SAM-e yesterday, but felt pretty rotten. Very tired, and very anxious. I felt the same way today. I am not blaming that on the SAM-e -- mostly on my own depression, and possibly some withdrawal from the Lamictal -- (yesterday was the first day I was completely off of it.)
Some of your ill feelings may be due to the SAM-e. Initially, I could only take one 200 mg tablet of SAM-e every other day. If I took more, I would experience side effects (flush, nausea, confused thinking, general ill feeling, "skin crawling"). It was about two or three weeks before I could take 200 mg every day without these side effects. From the time I was able to start taking 200 mg each day, until about a week or so ago (a period of about five months), I felt that 200 mg/day was the correct dose for me. However, in the last week or so I'm begining to think that 200 mg/day might be too much for me. Therefore, after I have finshed my current supply of 200 mg tablets, I plan to conduct a trial at 100 mg/day. Previously, Colin Wallace posted a link to a site where 100 mg tablets can be obtained. Tablet sizes less than 200 mg are not very common. Here is the link:

I do not have any information (good or bad) regarding the product quality assurance of this brand. Please continue to post (as you see fit) regarding your on-going experience with SAM-e.
