I have quit taking the antidepressant prescribed by by neuro because I didn't like the side effects. I am researching more natural ways to treat depression/anxiety. What can anyone tell me about Sam-e? I have St. John's wort, folic acid, and Omega 3. I am considering adding Sam-e, but want some feedback from some of you who may be taking it.

I don't have any experience with Sam-e. However, you may want to read a book called "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" by Dr. Daniel Amen. He discusses various brain disorders, including depression, and natural supplements that might be beneficial in their treatment.
