In reply to SAM-E good for depression?, posted by Francisco on January 14, 2003, at 1:00:00
Lia needed 1200 mg. It seems that a lot of poeple need 1200 to 1600 mg for monotherapy. As Lia stated, it is very expensive. If you decide to try it, Costco and BJ's have lower prices than stores like Walmart, Target, or other stores.
Start with 400 mg per day taken when you wake up in the morning on an empty stomach. It's best not to eat for at least an hour or 2 after taking it. If you have health insurance with drug coverage, prescription drugs are the much cheaper way to go and they are also effective. SAM-e has the advantage of not causing sexual side effects like some drugs. I strongly reccommend that you see your family doctor and get his advice.
