Consult with your physician before adding SAM-e, or any other supplement, to your regimen. For those with existing conditions that require prescription medication, your doctor can discuss any potential side effects that could occur with the use of SAM-e. Patients with heart conditions, mental health issues or women who are pregnant could experience serious side effects and should not take SAM-e.

2
Store SAM-e in a cool, dry place and keep tablets in the sealed packages until use for maximum effectiveness.

Take SAM-e on an empty stomach and at least one hour before eating for optimal absorption. You may take the supplement with water to speed passage of the tablet into the stomach.

4
Maintain the recommended dosage of SAM-e to avoid complications such as physical discomfort including diarrhea or headaches, and prevent weakened effects over time.

5
Notify your physician if you experience any unusual or severe side effects.

6
Discontinue use of the supplement under the guidance of your physician. Your physician may recommend graduated discontinuation based on your current dosage or because of the combined effects with other prescription medications.
