I dont know about the mixing of them all. I did try Sam-e years ago. I also took Complex B supplements along with them. For me after 3 weeks, they definetly kicked in. I was cleaning like a maniac but I sorta got OCD about it .The problem is that I am a little hyper and have anxiety so I quit them. If you are even keeled or less I would give them a try. They don't always work for everyone.

Sam-e is a methyl donor but is not absorbed well in capsule form. The trials used an injected form. There are better sources of methyl donors such as B-12 (methylcobalamin), acetyl choline, etc. High EPA fish oil such as Omega Joy boosts seratonin, and for an immediate mood lift yerba mate tea. Yerba mate contains MAO inhibitors naturally occuring. Another natural MAO inhibitor is the liquid curcumin extract Avea Mood by Nutramedix.
