About 10 days in taking 1 capsule per day in the morning and don’t feel a difference. Is it overkill to try 2?

Wow, I feel honored getting an unexpected reply from the man himself!
I have gone down so may rabbit holes I've lost count. My biggest issue is OCD (and I am 99.99% certain undiagnosed ADHD) and irritability/mood. I just cannot shut my brain off no matter what and get overstimulated very quickly with my kids.
I have run the gamut of SSRIs, and they work for a bit and then dont (zoloft, fluvoxamine, lexapro, prozac)
I have done long courses of ERP for the OCD and it has helped immensely, and I have long stretches of being good, until the doom and anxiety inevitably come back
Thyroid was checked and all levels good
Testosterone and other hormones all good (I am a 45 year old male and Test was actually on the high end)
I have uploaded my raw dna to nutrahacker and genetic genie and I am hetero C677T so I went down that rabbit hole for a while...my b12 is in the midrange (650), my folate is in the upper normal range (18), but my homocysteine hangs out around 11-12 and i cant seem to get it down to where I want (under 10 at minimum) I take a methylated B complex and 1G of TMG daily..I will retest homocysteine soon again
My D3 levels are good, my last test was 66ng/ml
From ND I have tried theanine, NAC (was supposed to be good for ocd), ksm66, and now saffron. No differences noticeable for me.
In addition to the b complex and TMG, I take D3/K2, trace minerals, colla…

Have you tried our sarcosine? That might be a good one to try out.
