Does sam-e help with mild depression and anxiety?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, it may: Sam-e may help in depression. One study used sam-e as an augmentation strategy for people who did not respond to ssri's. Remission rates were slightly higher in the adjunctive sam-e group than placebo. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20595412?dopt=abstract also sam-e has been found effective for depression on its own. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12418499?dopt=abstract.

Yes, but....: In my experience 'yes'; in europe it is prescribed for such. However here in the states is it not monitored/it's a supplement. So it is difficult to gauge how much to take. Most of the time it is too expensive to pay out of pocket to use.
