Alright, I haven’t blogged about this yet as I didn’t want to jinx myself. I have been trying something new for my depression. I got tired of all the and their less than nice side effects. I had tried the herbal route before when I tried St. Johns Wort, which worked but gave me a horrid case of diarrhea.

Enter the next attempt at doing this without making my doctor rich. SAMe, I had heard of it awhile back and promptly forgot about it because of the whole St. Johns Wort debacle. I have been on SAMe for awhile now and I have been nothing but happy with the results. My mood has been more upbeat and positive than it has been in such a long time. I actually have energy when I wake up in the morning, that alone is worth the price of admission. I usually have to drag myself out of bed and even then I just go plop into a chair and either mess around on my computer or watch tv, depended on which chair I made it to.

I have been able to go out and do stuff without having either be nagged into it or forced. Today I actually went out and mowed my lawn, so what you ask. Well to me that is a step in the right direction. I usually put that off till the weekend, or the next one, or the next one. You know how it goes, I would procrastinate it away till we lost the dog in the yard!

As I continue down this trail I will be trying to update on whats going on with this treatment as I think to. I already learned that I may be taking too much. I was following the directions on the box and it seems that most doctors actually tell you to take about half that or less. That might explain my problem with sleeplessness that I have been dealing with for a few days!

Peace out y’all.
