A member asked:
What is the correct dosage of sam-e to take for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SAM-E for Depression: The US National Library of Medicine reports dosing as "For depression: 400-1600 mg per day." The Mayo clinic reports "To treat depression, daily doses of 800-1,600 milligrams of SAMe by mouth for up to six weeks are most common." Best to discuss with a prescriber as there are potential side effects and interactions and precautions. Best regards for relief.
