I've been taking magnesium, methyl-B12 and folinic acid shots together
for several years now, since I read a paper on homocysteine blocking
GABAergic transmission.  Once I read the paper, it seemed the right
combination to throw against my neuropathy and it worked quite well.  
All of the methylators I tried from SAMe to TMG worked well too, so that
reinforced my decision.

I've been taking D3 for a while too.  It was only when I went off
folinic acid that the D3 became ineffective.
