SAM e ? Time to take?

Posted by tealady on March 24, 2005, at 18:57:24

Hi,

I've got a packet of SAMe when I did an large order from the US. I'd like to try it now as I need something for depression at present.
I can't seem to find on the instructions when during the day to take it. The tablets are enteric coated and it says take on an empty stomach.
I was wondering what time of day people found was best to take SAMe?

Thanks, Jan

It can be quite stimulating so it's best to take it earlier in the day and on an empty stomach. Also, if you build up to take more than one pill per day, it's best to space them out rather than take them together.

Thanks Kara,
I took one with my thyroid meds and taurine this morning. Hope they mix well.

I doubt I'll build up as I've only got one packet.
I was getting pretty depressed over the past couple of days, especially in the evening/night..then I worked out I'd forgotten my thyroid meds in the afternoon
I take THYROID(Armour in US) 3 times a day. I know most don't but they seem to "run Out" in me otherwise. I also time release them over 8 hrs. I'm err different, but I figure our bodies time release them from the thyroid..or more really on demand :-)
I think I'll try just twice a day soon as I'm building up my T4 intake. Then at least I'll remember them better. When I'm at home I have an alarm sound..but when I'm out I tend to forget.
