SAMe may make anxiety worse. It tends to be energizing, and somewhat an
antidepressant. But both my husband and son get tense on it.
I do not, and use it for arthritis.
Inositol however works well on OCD and anxiety for my husband.
My son takes it occasionally, in spurts. He starts to feel better and then
gets confident and stops, etc. This is typical of young adults.
We buy pharmaceutical grade powder online from Jarrow and save mega
bucks that way.

This mixes into juice with no unpleasant taste.
Start at 500mg daily and work up. My husband uses 2 gm a day.
If you go over 5 grams I'd have doctor supervision.
Severe OCD treatments go up to 15 grams a day, in the research papers.
IF you do decide to try SAMe go very slowly. 200mg a day in the morning is enough for a month. If you like it and don't feel any negative effects you can slowly titrate up. Many people get tense on SAMe...I think that means your body does not need it.
