Hi Jacquie,
I don't really understand all of the scientific language but in simple terms, I hope I have this right, every person has SAM-e in their bodies. As the SAM-e gets used up it produces a by product called homocysteine. Apparantly not good stuff to have a lot of. Contributes to heart disease and stroke and other things. TMG (Trimethylglycine) helps reduce the homosteine. Voila! hehe I don't understand it but Lef.org recommended it. I've been a member of that group for a few years and believe them to be on the cutting edge of life extension and improvement medicine. All I really know is that I feel so much better. btw, I'm taking 1600mgs and going broke quickly. At least I'll be happy and poor!!
All the best to you too.
Susie> Hi Susie- glad to hear that you've had great results with Same. I have heard the dose needs to be that high for some and perhaps this explains why 400mg didn't help me much. What is TMG??? Thanks for sharing. best, jacquie

> > Hi all. I just want to share with you my experience with SAM-e. It's a "supplement" here in the states and a drug in Italy.
> > I've been taking it for about a month now and it's working for me. I've had 12 years of depression starting with the birth of my first son. I know this disorder way too well. I've taken Prozac, paxil, serzone, effexor, zoloft, trazadone, well, you get the picture. I've been on a mission for a few years to get some serious relief. I was on Wellbutrin just prior to starting with this. The Wellbutrin was great for about 8 months and then the depression was back and I started having severe memory problems. I just couldn't take it any more.
> > Within a week of the SAM-e I starting feeling a lot better. Ceaning my house was the first indicator that it was working. I went dancing!! It was so fun. I put makeup on. Sorry guys, I know you won't relate. Sex drive came back. Yippee!!
> > Anyhow, I'm sure this is not something that will work for everyone. I just needed to let others know that its working for me.
> > SAM-e is very expensive. Just about a dollar a tablet. I tried a cheaper brand (NaturesRX) that I see advertised all over the net and it made me feel horrible. Like it was loaded with caffiene. My heart rate went up and so did my blood pressure.
> > Now I'm just sticking with the NaturMade product which has been tested by GoodHousekeeping and found to be what its says it is. I'm taking 1600 mgs per day with a B100 tablet and something called TMG.
> > A good place for more information is www.lef.org. Thats the place where I first learned of this stuff 2 years ago. They have all the studys and protocols that an MD would appreciate too.
> > This disorder robs us of so much life. I cant even remember the first 5 years of my childrens' lives. It absolutely breaks my heart. So we have to find an answer. I hope that you're like me and you don't ever give up. God Bless.
