I think abnormal movements like twitching are primarily dopamine related. Not exactly the same as parkinson's, but something in that category probably. Your hunch that SAMe might have been boosting dopamine sounds like a good hunch. Serotonin can come into play also, sometimes worsening symptoms but sometimes easing them. But primarily I think it is a dopamine thing. Definitely not an expert on it, but then, the neurologist doesn't seem to be either. :-(
