I would think it could only help...from what I've read, it seems fairly innocuous. I would say that you might want to consider taking a b-100 once or 2x daily if you opt for Deplin...the Orthomolecular people say that its best to high dose all the B vitamins (within reason), rather than just artificially boost one or two.
For instance...I now take 6 grams/day niacinamide (time release form, 2 daily doses). That's a ton of niacinamide...higher end for most Orthomolecular protocols. Anyway, I went from taking 1 B-100 2x daily to doubling that, 2 B-100 capsules 2x daily, for a total of 4 b-100 capsules. I feel...better. Calmer, more alert, less sedated.
Also...b6 was studied in Orthomolecular psychiatry w/ some good effects. In the 60s-early 80s, there was an observational study of patients on antipsychotics. Shrinks gave the patients a vitamin blend and then observed for TD (this was right before TD lawsuits became a huge issue for shrinks). Anyway, the combo of high dose B3 (3,000 mgs niacinamide), high dose b6 (400mgs), vitamin E (800 IU) and vitamin C (3 grams) reduced the TD risk considerably, even in patients taking more than 1 AP (this was before the atypicals) and/or high doses.
B6 has also been studied in treating acute neuroleptic induced akathisia and in treatment of existing TD.
And...I'm done.
