Well Jeanette, what an effect SAM-e had on me! After reading your post I rushed out and bought some yesterday. I took 200mg at 1.45pm (in my lunch break at my first day of a new job).
By the time I had to go back to work at 2.15pm I felt like I was on drugs. My vision was trippy - all the colours and sunlight suddenly were very bright, and I was rather concerned I might be acting funny back at work.
However, I went back to my desk, and calmed down, checked my pupils in the mirror, and all was fine.
Incidentally, I only took 2 SJW yesterday and today, as didn't need any more.
Today, I have not taken any more SAM-e, because I can still feel the effects of yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has totally eradicated my PMT depression of the past few days.
Thank you for your post, prompting me to purchase this wonderful supplement! I think I will just take it whenever I need an extra boost.

Dear Suling:
You certainly had a dramatic reaction at only 200 mg. I've read up a lot on SAM-E and it seems there are some people who are so sensitive to it that they take only 100 mg. or even 50 mg. to get a good effect. Why don't you try breaking one of your 200 mg. tablets in half, take just 100 mg. and see how you feel then, along with just one SJW? Anyway, since you now see that it kicks in for you instantly (as it did for me), you could take it now and then when you want an extra boost. Good luck.
Jeanette

Yes, thanks for that advice, I certainly do feel very sensitive to SAM-e. Yesterday, I still took 200mg in the morning along with 2 SJW. Feeling fine, I then had a single beer in the evening with dinner (my first beer for a while - it was a special occasion) - half an hour after that the same effect started with things starting to look strange. It was not my imagination.
I think I will take your advice and cut the SAM-e tablets up!
Similar to you, I also tried 5-HTP - and it did absolutely nothing. What a contrast to SAM-e! By the way, what is it exactly - it is not a herb is it?
