Hi Beth. Thanks for the update. I'm interested in your reports about Lexapro since I've considered it as well. SAM-e is definately activating for me. Sometimes too much so. I'm still experimenting with the dosage.
warm regards, Jake

The combination of that and fish oil was putting me into panic mode. So I stopped, and went to the pdoc last week, got a prescription for Lexapro, proceeded to take it, with a huge amount of trepidation (I have a wee bit of paranoia about how healthy I am and whether or not my liver can take such strong drugs; and tend not to trust doctors much anymore). And it sort of blew me over with fatigue.

Now, I'm trying to re-assess whether or not to go back on the SAM-e, which didn't make me feel so lousy as the lexapro did, and where to go from here.
