I have used SAMe for about 10 yrs. I just stopped as an experiment.

My husband and son tried it...my son actually has tried 3 times.
It makes him very anxious and irritable.

I think it depends on what your neurotransmitter systems are doing now. Everyone is slightly different. Some people tend to have more of one thing than another.

I will tell you what my son DOES like and that is l-theanine. He says it calms his anxiety very well. He uses SunTheanine.

I used SAMe for my arthritis, and also for some mental clarity, while I was going thru menopause. It was very energizing for me. It helps with depression, and fatigue. But I did have insomnia for a few short months, when I started it.

I personally don't think SAMe is a good intervention for anxiety.
