How close of a fit to the spectrum is it in your case?
I am very happy with how the TMG is working now, which is to say it is very smooth. If you miss a dose it isn't the end of the world. :-) In other words you aren't tied so closely to a dosage schedule to keep everything going like I was with precursor loading via L-tyrosine and 5-HTP.
The trick to it is you need to make sure you are getting magnesium (and it should help to poke around and find a readily absorbed form like taurate or malate rather than the dirt-cheap, but stable as all-get-out oxide... see the magnesium threads floating around the alt. board at the moment) and probably your B3 as well. Mg is needed for the whole homocystiene-methionine-SAMe cycle to turnover. And taking TMG without B3 may lead to some serious irritability and temper issues like I experinced when I began the latest trial (I believe this is the case because I had stopped taking my multi because the 5-HTP formula had so much B6 in it and it is possible to chronic overdose, so I wasn't getting my other B's, and Larry pointed this possibility out).
I'm going to try out 750 mg tid for a few days, but it might be possible to go lower. I no longer notice an activating effect from individual doses anymore because the effect is there all the time. Fortunately it doesn't interfere with getting sleep.
My latest wrinkle is that I am taking lecithin and omega-3 now too. I may have gotten a subtle postive effect from starting that up last night but it could just be coincidence.
I will let things settle in for a few days and then I will try piracetam for the first time.
