After suffering the loss of a baby approx three years ago and quiet a few other traumas with my kids since then I started suffering from fatigue, sleeping too much, eating poorly which led me to get sick. Then the anxiety attacks started approx 2 months ago and I fell into depression, I started taking St Johns Wart for two weeks now but as it takes quiet a few weeks to start working I was getting worse, I went to a good natruopath who put me on SAMe 200g tablets 3 times a day and it is now day 5 and boy have they worked for me.

I have more energy, I'm happy, and more optimistic about everything, you could say I found myself again. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that is suffering from depression. Don't forget to get a good B Vitamin Complex and make sure it has folic Acid in it.

By the way the doctor tried to put me on Lexapro 10mg (for the anxiety) I took half a tablet for 4 days had my first ever suicidal thoughts in my life, nausea, headache constantly, felt blanked out and then threw them in the bin. I'm probably lucky these events only all happened in the last five weeks (the scariest time in my life). The naturopath told me that she has had people a lot worse than me who the SAMe has ALWAYS worked for. I hope this helps someone else and I hope to keep you updated.

I had been feeling "down" and "bluey" and sometimes horribly depressed for years, 7 actually, it started after my daughter was born.

I tried cyprimil(an anti depressant), but the "out of body" experience was a terrible side effect and I gave it up.

6 weeks ago I went into the chemist to give "sam-e" a try but was shocked at the price!!, the sales assistant suggested the "Bioglan" brand,which contains less Sam-e but it is homeopathic and ALOT cheaper!!

I was doubful of succes, but after only a few weeks of three tablets a day, I started waking up in the morning feeling fantastic and ready to face the day!!

I went back to the chemist to ask the difference between the expensive brands and the "Bioglan" she explained that the expensive ones in effect "give" your body the mood lift chemical, and the "Bioglan" works by telling your brain to make more seritonan - the "feel good hormone" we already produce, but clearly not enough sometimes!! (please forgive any inaccuracies with medical terms etc!!, but I hope you get the "drift")

I urge anyone feeling down, to give the sam-e a try, it really does work, thank goodness!!!

After seeing Adriana on Today Tonight, on Channel Seven, I thought that I would try some of this product as I have been depressed for awhile. (This could be menopause related as I began menopause earlyish (age 38) 9 years ago. I was on HRT for 2 years but there were too may side effects)

I have been taking the tablets for 10 days now and am pleased with the results. I am generally much calmer and happier. I have not noticed any side effects except for a light headache on the 3rd and 4th day but this might not have had anything to do with the tablets.

I have only 2 complaints:

1. It is very expensive. Over $40 for only 20 tablets.

2. The instructions should be much clearer. Take 1-4 tablets per day is not really clear enough.

I have been trying Moodlift a herbal product available at chemists & it does work in the way that if you are really worrying & depressed about something it makes you feel uplifted & a lot calmer & in a sense you tend to forget about what you were stressing about but it is expensive and there are only 20 tablets

I have begun taking the SAM-e product Moodlift.

I am finding it wonderful as I now no longer suffer from the side effects that some of the prescription anti-depressants have caused me.

Your website has been very informative, and helped me to decide to begin taking this product.

Thank you very much.
