Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 Hi, anybody out there using the natural anti-depressent, SAMe? How are you doing on it and how long did it take to feel up again with happier thoughts. I bought some recently and I'm giving it a try. Thanks to all of you and the support.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Hi - I tried this for about two months last year. At first I felt great but then it quit working, and that was when I first started showing the butterfly rash and tested positive for Lupus. SAMe apparently is a known flarer for lupus. I now take Celexa for depression which works much better for me with no side effects. Best, Jennie --- jane_doe_press <jane_doe_press@...> wrote: > What do ppl think of taking SAMe for depression?
