I know it is not a prescription med, but I was wondering if anyone else has any personal experience with it. After doing a lot of research I finally tried just one 400mg dose yesterday morning and finally had 2 good days. My biggest problem is with depression and my hypomanias are usually not the out-of-control kind so I thought it was worth the risk of triggering a manic episode.

Well the first time I took the SAM-e, I had had a really bad day the day before. I felt the "cloud" lift off my brain about 45 minutes after taking it and had 2 good days on just the one 400mg dose.
The 2nd time a few days later the effect was not a snoticable but I was not as depressed to start with.
The 3rd time about a week later, I didn't notice much of an effect.
I'm going to order the 200mg pills because I'm afraid that the 400mg could easily trigger hypomania.
Tomorrow I plan to take another 400mg dose.

I just checked my journal and realized that I had forgotten about the 2nd dose which also gave me a good 2 days just not quite as good as the 1st dose.
dose1 March 28
dose2 March 31
dose3 April 3
dose 4 April 5
I have been able to exercise more so maybe it has provided the boost I needed to get back on track. That is all I'm planning on using it for, not a daily supplement.
