About 2 years ago I had a relapse after 4 great years on lexapro 10 mg only. My pdoc and i went to 20 mg lexapro and then added 7.5 mg deplin and I have been pretty good since then. I didn't notice a ton of benefit going to 20mg lexapro alone.
i don't know for sure that a lot of depressed people have this genetic defect, but the information published with Deplin claims this. If I weren't blessed with good insurance I would be a little more on the fence. As it is I will continue taking it.
I do think everyone who has struggled with MDD should give it a trial if they are financially able.
