Hi Sabre.

I take a Centrum in the morning. I've been doing it for years. However, I don't remember ever trying megadoses of the stuff. I'd like to get a little more input before committing to something like this. I have been very disappointed by using vitamins and supplements in the past.

The Harvard study seem pursuasive enough. They isolate low serum folate levels as being associated with a diminished response to antidepressants. I'll give it serious thought.
