Oops. I didn't address these issues. The only true side-effect I've ever heard of is induction of mania. Some people have temporary insomnia.
SAMe is 'functional food'. It's a food concentrate. One main problem with it is that it's a finished product. By taking it you bypass any built-in regulatory mechanisms which would control its concentration in the body. If you increase the supply of methionine, as by taking B-vitamins or betaine, you give your body a chance to control what becomes of that methionine.
