In reply to alternative treatments for anxiety/depression??, posted by Hildi on June 9, 2002, at 17:20:30
Hi,
I have tried two small doses of sam-e(I am unipolar with lots of anxiety) and although I cannot pinpoint it directly to sam-e I appear to get very activated on it. Granted, this is only two times, but last week when I tried it (maybe 100 mg) I became very activated and my mind raced. I had a bad few days because I couldn't sleep, but I added some benzo and it has sort of resolved itself. I am so med sensitive that activation caused more anxiety. It is very perplexing to me right now so I am not sure what I will do regarding my meds right now. I like the benzo's but I need something that doesn't make me more depressed. Have you tried any benzo's? If life was more managable with zoloft it may be the way to go. good luck.
