SAMe (s-adenosylmethonine) is a supplement that is sythesized from the amino acid methionine. It is believed to increase the effects of neurotransmitters, including the ever-so-important brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine. SAMe has been found to be FASTER-ACTING than tricyclic antidepressants (such as Elavil, Tofranil & Pamelor). Recommended dosage is 1,600 mg of SAMe daily and is even safe for pregnant women.
*Also helpful for Oseoarthritis, Fibromyalgia & Migraines BUT researchers found treating people with manic-depression have reported that SAMe could cause them to switch from depression to a manic episode.
