I responded when I first began taking Deplin and found out immediately how effective it was for me and my suicidal thoughts and tendencies. I did complain about parasympathetic symptoms as if I were having hot flashes. Lowering the dosage 15 to 7.5mg relieved those and still stabilized my mood.

I responded when I first began taking Deplin and found out immediately how effective it was for me and my suicidal thoughts and tendencies. I did complain about parasympathetic symptoms as if I were having hot flashes. Lowering the dosage 15 to 7.5mg relieved those and still stabilized my mood. However, I have been having constant herpes II outbreaks. I have had it for over 25 years and know my pattern well. It was easily managed with lysine. Since I have been taking Deplin, I have been having frequent, intense, and chronic outbreaks. I was prescribed Valacyclovir, 500mg, twice a day and it helped speed the healing but not the chronic eruptions which were constant and in several locations at one time. I took the chance and have stopped the Deplin and my herpes symptoms have almost totally resolved. I researched and found out that perhaps the arginine food ingredients were exacerbating these symptoms. I am in a quandary of what to do now. More and more medicine, totally suspend my love life, or live? It is also possible that these foods also impact IBS/Chrohns? disease.

This has been a miracle drug for me. I am on a 5 drug "cocktail". They have been less that helpful. Started Deplin and felt GREAT. Switched to generic and have slid down hill consistently. Switching back to to Deplin. Found a great price @Brand Direct. P.S Could the symptoms and side effects others have mentioned come from from the enhanced effect of the antidepressant(s) rather than ... Show Full Comment

P.S Could the symptoms and side effects others have mentioned come from from the enhanced effect of the antidepressant(s) rather than Deplin. Just a thought.

This medication has made a tremendous difference in my major depression that I have had since you. I still take Wellbutrin/Lexapro at very low doses but Deplin has made the difference with my extreme lows (suicidal)...no mania in history. However, I have noticed since that time that my herpes type 2 has intensified. Where I maintained with L-lysine and topcial creme for over 20 years, I bega ... Show Full Comment

However, I have noticed since that time that my herpes type 2 has intensified. Where I maintained with L-lysine and topcial creme for over 20 years, I began taking oral valtrex. I believe there must be high alginine nutrients in the medicine. I would love to know and have if modified but I will never sacrifice my benefits from depression for secxual intimacy.

This medication better than the over the counter Folic Acid - the cost is very high- its classification is why insuance will not pay...however if you go to BRAND DIRECT HEALTH you can get for 3 month supply for about 48.00 a month
