I have one copy of the C677T and one copy of the A1298C. I have been supplementing with methylfolate and rotating different forms of B12 sublingual, methylfolate support vitamins for over 3 months now.

My main question is, does it make sense to take L-methionine if symptoms of depression come and go?

I have been supplementing with Gaba and L-tryptophan. I still get down periods too often.

My detox symptoms seem better. I have also started bioidentical hormones in the last month to ease severe menopausal hotflashes.

I should have mentioned in the post above that I am also homozygous with MAO-A. That is why I have been taking L-tryptophan and gaba. Below are my mutations:

Here are your homozygous mutations as indicated in your SNP gene table above (not including MTHFR):
MAO-A R297R CBS A360A

Methionine can increase homocysteine. Are you under the supervision of a practitioner who understands methylation?

Before starting to self experiment I would suggest getting some type of baseline to see where your neurotransmitters are. One should not be tinkering with this area if they are not aware. I have seen to many people have severe adverse reactions to the point of where they where became suicidal. Methylation is like a huge switch board to the entire body. If you flick the wrong switch one could be in trouble. I have seen it many times as well as personally experienced my self when I was self experimenting 10 years ago…Shawn
