Hey, has anyone ever tried SAMe? I have just recently started taking it because I read that it is just as good as prescription antidepressants, only its supposed to work faster. Well its been four days and I feel just as depressed and tired as usual. I know four days is probably waayyy to short to notice anything... Has anyone had a good experience with SAMe? When did it start kicking in and how could you tell when it started working? Any SAMe advise would be appreciated :)

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I tried SAMe for several months (while tapering off a prescription anti-depressant), but it didn't help me--eventually I went back on my prescription med. However, there are some people on this board who have been helped by it. It seems to be an individual thing. Like most meds, it will take at least a few weeks to take effect. I hope it works for you. Let us know how you do with it.
