Thanks MrsD for doing that checking. and yes, i ran into "grouped" AED lists too... sigh.

regarding the folate, the deal was different. it is not a direct depletion due to drug metabolims. what i read - and i only found it in one place... you can kill me now i don't know if have it but i have to go to pdoc's - is that its absorption is inhibited by depakote. so if one were on depakote for a lenghy period, their folate tissue stores would gradually become depleted.

Mari... thanks. i am glad you foudn that helpful. :) :hug:

i have to run

It is interesting that there is a drug RX in US for treating depression that is nutrient responsive. It is called Deplin, and has 7.5mg of methylfolate in it (this is the activated form of folic acid).

Thanks. Mrs. D.

I found a diagram.

Hi,

My first guess to that is that pdocs are a little bit lazy.

Perhaps also they don't trust the supplements as they are not regulated as to dose, quality, . .
