Using Sam-E for depression

[DaMomb 1]

Just wondered if anyone knows anything about the natural remedy for depression called Sam-E. Was wondering because it says that it can be hard on the stomach and I know that we are not supposed to used NSAIDS because of how hard they are on the stomach. Any info would be great. Googled but found nothing. Thanks

I have suffered with depression since I was about 12. I have been on countless drugs including sam-e and none of them worked for more than a couple of months.

When I started the Lap-band process in June 2010 I was so depressed I just wanted to die. My phyc. doc. I saw for my eval. suggested a book by Paul Gilbert called OVERCOMING DEPRESSING. Life has been wonderful since reading this book.

Good Luck

DaMomb,

SAM-E has been used quite effectively for many people with depression. Like most treatments for most difficulties, it does not work for all people all of the time, but it DOES work for many.

It is also one of those "natural" treatments, so it cannot be patented....therefore, it is not "pushed" by Doctors and health care organizations because the profit in using the substance is just not there. Consequently, you just don't hear THAT much about it.

I would suggest going to this site: http://www.revolutionhealth.com/drugs-treatments for more information. The site is a little cumbersome to navigate, but you can find tons of information posted by people who have used various forms of treatment for Depression and various other ailments, and they tell about their experiences.
