Cumulative,
FYI: One Deplin® 7.5mg tablet is bioequivalent to taking seventy-five 800 mcg folic acid pills. Here is the reference:

Bipolar II with ultra rapid cycling (15 day cycle), and mild Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)
600 mg/day Trileptal
200 mg/day Lamictal
875 mg/day Keppra
90 mg/day Nardil
15 mg/day Deplin-------------
> Folic acid is incredibly cheap, not sure about deplin. It's very rare to have the metabolism deficiency that prevents one from converting folic acid to the active form, which comprises deplin. I think it would be worth it to try the regular supplement first, maybe even get a serum test if you really want to know. 800mcg of regular folic acid daily boosts my energy.
