> Who is taking Deplin? How is it going?
I decided to try supplementing my 10mg Celexa and 450mg of Eskalith per day with a standard 1.5mg pill of Deplin.
I tried my first pill yesterday and got about an hour of feeling good, then about 20 minutes of hypomania. In the evening I just felt kind of tired and a little out of it. When I went to bed I fell asleep fine, then popped awake a couple hours later, which is something I haven't been doing. I couldn't sleep so I took a half of an Ambien and slept 'till morning.
Unfortunately, it seems my depression has become exacerbated today. I took a half of another pill anyway, but am seriously wondering whether I should continue the Deplin. I guess if there were evidence that it improves with time like other psych drugs I would stick with it, but so far it's not so great.
