My Psych doc who just does medication mgmt. recommended deplin (L-methyfolate) I saw a naturopath who is thinking that a MTHF mutation(Test results not in) may cause lack of folate which could be causing issues with brain chemistry.

QUESTION Has anyone used deplin (L-Methyfolate) along with lexapro(Escitalopram) or other SSRI and found it to be helpful?

Feel free to send me a message as well. Thanks PG

Clonazepam (Up to 1.25 mg, +.50 mg if needed)
Lexapro (10 mg, 1 week in)

Tried it, but it had absolutely no effect. I think unless you have an actual deficiency, it is pretty useless. Pretty expensive and generally not covered by insurance.

Tried it while taking effexor, effexor had bad side effects and was ineffective for its intended purpose. Perhaps the Deplin worked because I felt more jittery? Otherwise, I did not want to continue a higher dose because it was expensive and not covered by insurance. My Pdoc really wanted to keep me on it.

Deplin has a great concept behind it, but I guess I'll just eat my spinach.
