Just my own experience, but I have taken it for about 2 years now, in conjunction with a nutritional/nutrient approach to depression prescribed by a medical doctor. I feel like it does sort of brighten me up a bit. I am continuing to take it as I feel it does help.
I read years ago that Sam-e has more of a tendency to react with medications than other supplements, especially with anti-depressants. I always tell my PCP if I’m taking anything OTC and if I don’t, she asks. Be careful!
I am wary of supplimentals with no literature to back it up. I suggest that you find the active ingredient then go to the NIH.org website to see what has been published on it. If your depression is not too bad then try it, but how do you measure if it is working if you are not working with a doctor?
I do see the it can cause liver disease, so you should be monitored by a doctor. You don't want to face a liver transplant on top of things
