What anti-depressant are you taking? If it is an SSRI then it is possible that it may be causing problems withyour folate levels. SSRIs are particularly popular group of antidepressants as they tend to have fewer side-effects and the side-effects that they have are generally better tolerated than other types of ADs. However, they can use up folate and that can in turn affect your ability to process B12
