A new Harvard study suggests that a nutritional supplement sold over-the-counter may help some people with depression who haven't gotten better with any other drugs. Researchers found that adding the supplement, called S-Adenosyl Methionine, or SAMe, to a patients' antidepressant treatment helped more people with major depression improve their symptoms than those that took an inactive placebo on top of their normal medication. The supplement also had fewer side effects than medications that are approved by the FDA for people with depression who don't respond to antidepressants. "This is an exciting, yet preliminary finding," Dr. George Papakostas, the study's lead author and a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, told Reuters Health.
