Depression
"I have suffered with some depression but mostly anxiety for the past 15 years. I have taken Celexa and then Lexapro off and on (mainly on) for most of those years. While the Lexapro helps some, I still always had difficulty with my energy levels and with coping during really stressful situations. I was recently tested for MTHFR gene mutation, and was found to have the 1298c mutation, which can affect my brain&#039;s ability to utilize folate in order to make needed serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. My doctor prescribed Deplin (l-methylfolate), and even though I had read many good reviews, I was still hesitant. I have to say it has been a miracle for me. It&#039;s like this dark cloud has been lifted, and my anxiety has completely disappeared."
