Hi guys-

For those who take SAM-e, could you please answer the following:

1) What specifically has it helped with?

2) How long did it take to start working?

3) Did you notice it causing any weird muscle tics when you first started it (when I first started Vitamin D and whey protein it made my muscles feel tighter initially...then better)...Thanks!!!

I felt that it helped my mood a lot. Made me feel better. I started to notice the effects within a week or so of starting, which surprised me since I thought it would take longer.

I take 400 mg twice a day, first thing in the morning and before bed.

I haven't noticed any weird muscle tics at all.

Anyone take SAM-e for muscle pain or joint pain?

Thanks, Mariksi

I take DL Methionine which is the precursor to SAM-e and it is very helpful for pain.
