In reply to I tried SAM-e, posted by JaneB on September 24, 2005, at 18:37:21
I have a couple of thoughts. 200mg SAMe one day and 400mg the next is almost no SAMe. I never noticed it under 400mg/d, and then only just.
But SAMe has undesirable effects in some people. Irritability, mania, insomnia, digestive upset.
As for your joint pain, it is supposed to help with osteo, dunno how, but I've got osteo and never noticed anything. But if it was going to help with arthritic pain it would do so gradually, I suspect. It might take a month or two.
If when you felt like crying you could identify a real difference from SAMe, then maybe that's what it was. I would be looking out for irritability and such.
