Hi,
My sam-e trial didn't start very well.
Start at 400mg X 2 + B1,B6,B12 complex.
For the first 3 hours i feel pretty alert, quite well. But after another hour i begin to feel dizzy, little nappy and so i remain for all the afternoon.
As i have never heard about dizzyness induced by Sam-e i suppose it could be induced by B complex (B12 is a little particular supplement).
Anyone has an idea:
1) Could be caused by sam-e?
2) could be caused by B supplement?
3) a con-cause of the two above?
4) It is only my immagination, it is better that i see my doc?
Thanks for every share and help!!!
Eve

Possibly the B12 if I had to guess. The best thing to do is to try the things one at a time..or try leaving off the B12 for starters.
I doubt if doc would know as its so individual..

That could be the problem right there.

> As i have never heard about dizzyness induced by Sam-e i suppose it could be induced by B complex (B12 is a little particular supplement).The reason that B12 is so particular is that it increases the demand on other B-vitamins substantially, and you're not taking a full B-complex. Are you in Europe? I think I've just had a discussion about this, above.

> EveDid you try splitting your SAMe dose through the day? You could just be feeling the boost it provides, and it wearing off. It's totally consumed by your body. It's like gas in your car. Put a little bit in, and you don't get too far before you sputter.

Hi Lar, Thanks for your interesting comments!
Yes, I'm from UE.
> No riboflavin, niacin, or folate?
> That could be the problem right there.Unfortunely i was not able to find out a total complete B complex supplement on the market.
> The reason that B12 is so particular is that it increases the demand on other B-vitamins substantially, and you're not taking a full B-complex.Meanwile i take only sam-e, i would like to continue to reserch a complete supplement.

I take sam-e twice a day (400 x 2). There is written not to break the pills. I think i could
in the future increase the dosage to 400 x 3 mg/d, splitting the dosage through the day.
I will take you informed about!
Thanks again!eve.
