I just picked up some new treats to try and I need some advice.
SAM-e. Internet highly recommended it for BP I w psychoses, but on getting home then opening the package it says if you have BP do not take unless under Doctor's supervision. Thoughts? Pharmacist told me it shouldn't negatively interact with any of my meds.
Super B Complex
B12
I'm experiencing vicious amounts of hypersomnia during the day and I don't know exactly what I'm doing at night, but it can't possibly be sleeping.
So, advise me. What should I expect?

Are you still using the SAMe. How is it working for you?

The 1st 400mg dose I took a couple months ago snapped me out of a brief severe depression within 40 minutes.

I then would take just 200-400mg occasionally.

Lately I've been relying on it everyday instead of exercise (which I am suppose to be doing right now and I really am going to go for a walk in 10 minutes).

My mania is well controlled with other supplements so far.
