I was prescribed deplin as well, it's expensive as my insurance won't pay for it.
You might also try acetylcysteine. Cysteine lowers homocysteine levels somewhat. It's more like treating symptoms and it's not enough on its own, but it may allow you to lower your methylfolate doses.

Anything (else) neuroprotective, protecting your cells, may also help, like vitamin E.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
