Hey all! Wanted an opinion on this topic.
Does anyone know if using SAM-e to augment an SSRI will also address the non-depression indications, such as social anxiety and obsessiveness?
I have a new pdoc. I want to improve my anxiety and concentration issues without going up on my Celexa (25mgs currently), which dampens me and makes me really fairly hedonistic/conscientious. We are about to add a little Klonopin to the mix but I know that's a slippery slope.
I started taking SAM-e 200mgs yesterday while I'm dropping the Celexa to 20mgs. I'm afraid of it making me racy. I'm doing this on my own to see if there's a route other than benzos. I've tried buspar (and still take 5mgs at night). It certainly helps with the focus/anxiety but it also makes me sad and angry.
Any advice would help! thanks much
