I am taking escitalopram 10 mg for anxiety, can I also take SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine)? If yes, how much - 400, 800, 1200 mg... Thank you.

It is not advisable to combine escitalopram and SAMe as they can both increase serotonin levels in the brain and lead to serious side effects. If you feel that the escitalopram is not effective enough for your anxiety, it would be best to discuss with your doctor about possibly increasing the dosage.
