Linkadge,
I've been learning a lot from reading the information that you've been putting forth about methylation on this thread. There are without question a lot of things to consider as far as methylation, hypermethylation, and demethylation are concerned, and I think it's interesting how different therapeutic agents can influence not only methylation itself, but also some of the effects of methylation. In particular, I think it's helpful to know about how psychiatric medications can influence methylation, because many of us who either take medications or have taken them don't always consider the extent to which medications might exert effects in the brain and elsewhere in the body that might not be so closely connected with the most commonly known pharmacological actions of the medications. As you said, there is a lot that we don't know about the widespread effects of these drugs, and it could very well be the case that some of the effects of psychiatric medications that aren't so well known might have more to do with their benefits than most of us think. So, thank you for your posts here. I hope that you're still noticing benefits in connection with your methylfolate trial, and I hope that you'll keep noticing methylfolate-related benefits as time goes by.
