A member asked:
Can sam-e be taken with a antidepressant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can: Sam-e is frequently combined with antidepressants. Unlike most medications, Sam-e should be taken on an empty stomach, otherwise it doesn't get absorbed. The starting dose is about 400 mg, but it can be increased to 1,200 mg and higher.
