Hi,
The sentence
If I were you, and you were me.
Is this correct, or should it be " . . . am you, and you are me."
Say 'were', because you are talking about something that is not possible, something that will not actually happen.
Note that what you wrote is not a complete sentence. It's just a subordinate clause.
