Exclamation Sam-e not for children or teenagers

I was reading articles about ADD and they mention dopamine and serotonin and it got me to thinking about the Sam-e that my hubby takes. So I am wondering if that would be a good starting point? He is 14 and weighs around 155 and is 5 feet 9 inches. Would it be safe for him to take?

Any other input is certainly welcome as I am lost on how to help him. Thanks...Sue

no - I was told it was ok for my son age 17 to take it -
no way -he reacted terribly violent to it -started saying things that scared the hell' ooo outta me? you see Sam -e is a natural type of SSRI

no SSRI's for any children!

this film is an excellent reason on film for not putting your child on SSRI's
please watch this documentary:

I thought this may prevent - bad things... FYI

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
