I have a card I carry in my wallet to inform physicians if need be.

I have taken Saphris and was successful with it. I have taken Seroquel and Latuda but have had greater success with saphris
Do you also take the methylated form of B12?

Do you know your homocysteine blood/plasma concentration before (and after) you took the supplement(s)?

Edit:
The obvious question: how much do you take (daily)?

Do you know the gene responsible? Is it the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene? Do you know its genotype?

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
