If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use SAMe without first talking to your healthcare provider. Antidepressant Medications
There have been reports of SAMe
interacting with antidepressant medications and increasing the potential for
side effects including headache, irregular or accelerated heart rate, anxiety,
and restlessness. On the other hand, because it often takes up to six or eight
weeks for antidepressant medications to start working, SAMe has been used with
certain drugs to relieve symptoms more quickly. Consult your healthcare provider
before using SAMe if you are taking any medications for depression.
