For Depression "If you are taking Deplin because of the MTHFR genetic abnormality, you were misled by your doctor(s). This genetic test is being pushed by the psych field even though it has not been proven. Look up the studies on MTHFR and you will soon learn that most of what you read about are myths. That being said, Deplin does have its benefits."

For Depression "Started taking Deplin to curb the side effects I was feeling on Lexapro. I'm not really sure if it was working or if I just thought it was working. It also cost a lot of money."

For Folate Deficiency "After a surprise DNA test done by my primary care doctor, I received a call from the distributor of this so-called vitamin, and the caller tried to pressure me into auto shipments of prescription before I ever received my DNA results from my doctor. My doctor had shared my DNA results with the makers of Deplin before sharing them with me. Deplin 15 caused extreme bloating and pain twice, resulting in cracked ribs, sternum, etc. I now suffer from shallow breathing and have a lump in my chest where my sternum bone broke, with damage to my rib cage and struggle to breathe deeply, though my lungs are clear. My O2 levels have dropped 5% over the past year, and I was fired by my doctor that caused this when I refused to keep taking it. Kickbacks?"
