Hi Phillipa.
> Scott was prescirbed 7.5 mg of Deplin today with the same luvox and valium.
What is he being treated for?
> Should it be taken morning or night
I take mine in the morning. Deplin seems to be alerting in some people. Deplin does not reach its peak blood level until several weeks after beginning therapy.
> as pdoc not that familiar with it as said I was her first patient to put on it. Called it kind of a brain food
I still consider Deplin a drug. It does not occur naturally in human food stuffs, so I'm not sure one could call it a food, regardless of its categorization.
With the possible exceptions of flatulence and possibly headache, I know of no other side effects of Deplin. I don't think we will know the full range of its therapeutic activity and side effects until it has been used for awhile.
The antidepressant response to Deplin seems to follow a pattern. One can experience a brief period of a mild increase in energy during the first week. This disappears quickly. 4-8 weeks later, the true antidepressant response emerges.
