methylfolate

[Rufus07]

has anyone tried methyl folate for their depression? Sig. other came across it and thought it might be worth a try. I just weaned off of Pristiq, which seemed to make my depression worse, and thought i might give it a try. It’s supposed to help the body produce neurotransmitters. I’m still on risperidone for anxiety and lamotrigine for bipolar so I’m not totally med free. I guess it can’t hurt to try.

Vitamin B9 or folic acid , yes occasionally have vitamins but hoping diet provides because that is best form and in natural combination to digest

I am also on type of resperidone medicine

I know we are all different, but did the vitamins help you?

[Hidden in reply to Rufus07]

Yes definitely and gives me better health and energy next day. I feel it working. But diet more important

I will try to work on my diet. It’s not full of junk food or sugar, but I could use more veges and fruit. I hardly get take out due to the fact that I pretty much cook dinner every night. Hopefully the vitamin will work well for me too.

My doctor just prescribed pristiq today. I will taking it tomorrow. I hope it don't make my depression worse. I already am on Seraquil, miritzapine. Trazadone. She wants me to cut my miritzapine down to half. She said it would help with anxiety. Which I am already taking kolonapin for that. I really am so sick of doctors and medications that don't work.

I hope the Pristiq works for you. It just made my symptoms worse 10 fold. I was more depressed, irritable, agitated and easy to anger. I also cried uncontrollably everyday. I also take klonopin and it works wonders for me. Calms me right down. I wish you better luck than I had. I too am sick of doctors and meds that don’t work. I’ve pretty much given up. I’m tired of trying med after med with no real results. That’s why I thought I would try the methylfolate. It can’t hurt I guess. Good luck 🙂
