I resonded to this post earlier but don't know what happened to it.
I believe the package insert states something about SAM-e causing stimulation or is not to be taken by someone who is manic - can't remember. However I have read on countless occassions that since it is energizing it should not be used by people who suffer from anxiety or mania (you'll have to do the research). I ruled this drug out for me a couple of yrs ago as a result of this recommendation since I have panic disorder and do not need to be stimulated or energized. SAM-e seems to be ideal for those suffering from mild to moderate depression with no mania, anxiety or agitation, and with melancholy symptoms (in other words, in need of the energizing effect).
Good Luck
