In certain doses, yes, folicin messes with me. At 1200mcg, it made me quite energized--not quite manic, per se, but *extremely* restless. So i backed off the dose, and later titrated to 2400mcg (i take Lamictal, i want to avoid the effects on folate metabolism... i am not quite sure this is a high enough dose, but i don't want to go higher at this point without further medical advice).
One thing, though, is that folicin can induce metabolism of some drugs--this *may* be part of its effect on inducing mania, but i don't really know.
