Hello everyone!
Hope you are having a good new year!
I had been doing fairly well with the program until recently. I have been getting anxious lately because I've been slightly depressed and I am finding it soooo hard to keep up the positive self talk. So I started doing some research on over the counter medications for depression and I was wondering if anyone has tried SAM-e. If you have tried SAM-e or know anything about it, I would greatly appreciate the feedback.
Thank you!

Casey,

I purchased some SAM-e and the day I took it, it gave me a bad stomach ache. But you must know that I already suffer from a disease in my colon and I was dealing with a flare up of the disease at that time. They have been using this amino acid in Europe for a long time with great results. When I talked to my doctor about it, he said they don't know too much about it here in the U.S. and hopefully, since it's new to the market and available in places like Walmart, we will be hearing more about it in our country.

PS) I have also heard of Clarocet and Amoryn and both of these are over-the-counter vitamin/amino acid supplements for depression and anxiety. I haven't taken them myself but perhaps someone else on the board has.
