I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was a child, with only depression being addressed. The anxiety was still a constant even while on medication except for the short time I was on Zoloft, which was the first time in my life I had a sense of well being. Unfortunately, it was short lived as the side effects interfered too much with the quality of my life. Fast forward to the present, at age 60, and my most recent consultation with a psychiatrist whom confirmed my thoughts on anxiety being the base issue. After being given a huge amount of information on the pros and cons of pharmaceuticals vs natural supplements, I did learn that Sam E is the only non-toxic alternative supplement that can be taken. He said it would take 1-2 weeks to see improvement. I am at 1000 mg/day now and with a prescribed goal of 1200-1800 mg/day, depending on my response. Just finished a week and I'm feeling joy w/no side effects. I see a future. More importantly, I feel perfectly fine to leave my house now, am actually thinking and looking forward to finding a job, and don't dread being around people (which was sometimes excruciating). In only a week this change has occurred and I feel as though I have been the gift of life. I'm curious to see when I've taken it for 2 full weeks. This is very exciting for me. However, he did say it might not work and doesn't work for everyone. Please check with you healthcare professional as everyone is unique and has their own unique life expriences that need to be evaluated. Very informative post.
