I don't know a lot about Deplin. But, even if it does affect you in some similar way (even if through all different channels) that Folic Acid does, I think that is a real waste. Especially if they are charging so much money for it. It's weird, but I got the same effects from high dose Folic Acid that many seem to complain about on Deplin. Nightmares, plus I had VERY increased anxiety. My Pdoc at the time mentioned to me that there was some research showing that high dose Folic Acid, B12, and some other B Vitamins (as well as choline) where very bad for people with bipolar illness. It caused a lot of rapid cycling. (At the time, I had been experimenting with these vitamins and feeling rotten, and that is why he brought it up. He is a very respectable psychopharmacologist at McMaster University in Hamilton Canada.)
