Question by Brad: INsurance won’t cover “deplin” – doc said I could try other vitamins- any ideas what?
I used deplin for about 4 months and it worked wonders, but my insurance won’t cover it and I can’t afford to pay for it, so my dr. told me I could try to take some other vitamins, like multivitamins, folic acid, and then B or D (I forget which).

Anyone know good vitamin mixes that could cover the effects of deplin?? I’m looking into getting rid of my health insurance and switching to a High Deductible Insurance Plan w/no prescription coverage so I can free up enough cash to buy deplin and my antidepressants??

I’ve been off deplin for 2 weeks and already am back to serious depressive moods and suicidal thoughts… You don’t realize how much it helps until you stop taking it!!!
