    This medication has made my stomach blow up to pregnancy size. It is incredibly uncomfortable I cannot eat because my stomach expands even more and it physically hurts. I am disappointed because I was hoping it would help with my depression.

    I used levomefolate to alleviate my Schizoaffective Disorder symptoms. It worked very well for one year with no side effects. Now, I am having migraines and exhaustion, but I am not 100% sure if it is from the levomefolate.

    used in conjunction with other antidepressants and it has helped enormously. Felt calmer, happier and am thrilled to realize that the woman singing along w the radio is me.

    The methylfolate, which is this "medicinal food" was very effective for my depression. I have the MTFR mutation, and can't turn folate into methylfolate (or activate folate as the pharmaceutical company says).
