I would not recommend taking SAMe by itself unless you have had your blood homocystiene level tested. Extra SAMe once used becomes extra homocystiene, which is toxic. You need to be able to convert this extra homocystiene back into methionine via methylcobalamin or TMG if your body's own conversion rate is maxed out.

If you are pretty sure you are not overmethylated (the symptoms are pretty distinct from undermethylation) then TMG or methylcobalamin are safer to try.
