Resurrecting this thread to ask about people's experience of folic acid for depression/bipolar. A friend recommended it to me because she has seen big difference in her mood and energy. I don't think Deplin is available in the UK.

I was already taking 200µg as part of a multivitamin so yesterday I began taking 2x400µg tablets. So 1000µg which is 1mg (I think?)

(I am on lamotrigine 100mg x 2, citalopram 20mg x 1, and atorvastatin 20mg x 1 plus a multivitamin with B12, B2, B6, Vit D, iodine and selenium as well as folic acid.)

My concerns are 1) drug interactions, 2) affect on mood - danger of elation? 3) side-effects.

My brain is struggling to understand all the information out there! This thread has helped but still want to know more!
