Re: Deplin at 15mg effective MDD with SSRI's

There is no risk of cancer associated with Deplin. You may be confused with high doses of unmetabolized folic acid, which is different. Deplin is L-methylfolate, the active form of folate your body makes naturally from folic acid.

Some patients with MTHFR do get a rapid response. Some get response at 7.5mg dose level but research shows (the study you posted) that 15mg dose is far more impactful for many patients. Some patients get a response in 1-2 weeks but others may get a response in 4-6 weeks.

I hope this information helps.
