I've taken 400mg SAMe/d for ages and it's been OK. Recently I started 10mg/d Parnate with it first thing in the morning. Day 1 was great, but by day 3 I was feeling agitated (rather than anxious ie benzos didn't help much).
When I cut out the SAMe the agitation went away.
Linkadge suggested that SAMe was fairly dopaminergic in effect. I had wondered if I was getting too much seratonin in some agitating receptor subtype. I thought this because Parnate had an immediate seratonin feel as well as the dopamine feel that I am more familiar with from deprenyl.
I've no idea how this might apply to Prozac (I've never taken it), but I thought you might be interested anyway.
Jessers1128, (is that name right?), was going to use SAMe with Cymbalta, I think. I dunno how it has gone with her.
