This is the third time I''ve tried to write this, but tablet keeps eating it, so don't want to push my luck. Do a search for DEPLIN, which is branded version of L-Methyl, but does explain how it works. It requires a scrip, but as it's not technically a drug, it isn't covered by insurance, last I knew. You can get it online from many places, as well as drug-store chains.

I went to a "neurological institute" that stole 16 vials of blood from me, and tested it for all sorts of things--that's where i got the diagnosis of the folate processing problem.

as for wellbutrin. i tried it once years ago--no response at all. At least no bad side effects! (Didn't help me quit smoking, either.)
