[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 217995, member: 43589"] I had a bout of depression about 6 years ago when I retired. I used the SAMe raw powder and some pretty high doses. After about 6 weeks I could really feel a huge difference. It was like someone opened a window and let the sunlight shine in. Now I will add to this information: Najm, Wadie I et al.[B] “S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe) versus celecoxib for the treatment of osteoarthritis symptoms: a double-blind cross-over trial.[/B] [ISRCTN36233495].” [I]BMC musculoskeletal disorders[/I] vol. 5 6. 26 Feb. 2004, doi:10.1186/1471-2474-5-6 [B]We compared the effectiveness of 1200 mg SAMe (600 mg twice daily) with 200 mg celecoxib (Celebrex 100 mg twice daily),[/B] to reduce pain and improve functional symptoms associated with OA of the knee. Each phase of the study was for a total of 8 weeks with one-week washout between the two phases. [HEADING=2]Conclusion[/HEADING] [B]SAMe has a slower onset of action but is as effective as celecoxib in the management of symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. [/B]Longer studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of SAMe and the optimal dose to be used. Very exciting stuff for those of use who have osteoarthritis in the knee. I would imagine that might also be equally as effective for osteoarthritis in the shoulder. [/QUOTE]
