[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 134895, member: 2423"] Steely, I'm really sorry for all you're going through. In your shoes, I too would want to know the full story behind what happened. I googled SAM-e (which stands for S-adenosyl-methionine) and psychosis and came up with this interesting quote: "Prefrontal cortex (Brodmann's area 9) levels of the methyl donor S-adenosyl methionine were increased by about two-fold in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients, but not in unipolar depressed patients compared with nonpsychiatric subjects from the Stanley Foundation Neuropathology Consortium (Bethesda, Maryland, USA)." Here's the link where I found this information: [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17259861[/URL] I'm only guessing here, but I'm wondering whether taking the SAM-e pushed your sister into psychosis (similar to the way ADs can activate BiPolar (BP)). You say she didn't have mental illness, but was she taking the SAM-e for unipolar depression (that really could have been BiPolar (BP))? I think it's something you should look into. [/QUOTE]
