TAKEN FROM DEPLIN WEBSITE:
Deplin® (L-methylfolate) is an orally administered medical food for use only under medical supervision for the dietary management of suboptimal folate levels in depressed patients.

From what I read, Folic Acid is manmade and must be broken down to be used. This medication causes a 1 step conversion instead of the 3-4 steps needed to use conventional folic acid.

I also cycle fairly quickly I believe. Currently am flushing Lamictal out so I can go back on Depakote.
