Hi, Jake,
I was away this weekend and from the computer until today. Thanks for writing what your experience has been.
For the last four months, I had been taking SAM-e (starting at one level, then dropping down after I realized that I was feeling anxious). The combination of that and fish oil was putting me into panic mode. So I stopped, and went to the pdoc last week, got a prescription for Lexapro, proceeded to take it, with a huge amount of trepidation (I have a wee bit of paranoia about how healthy I am and whether or not my liver can take such strong drugs; and tend not to trust doctors much anymore). And it sort of blew me over with fatigue.
Funny thing about SAM-e is that I had a significant, exhausted withdrawal. It didn't help that I went onto lexapro, which made me exquisitely, monumentally tired. Now, I'm trying to re-assess whether or not to go back on the SAM-e, which didn't make me feel so lousy as the lexapro did, and where to go from here.
Thanks, again, Jake.
Beth
