I hate vacuuming. I love the end result, but hate everything about the process. I hate how it makes me face how dirty my animals make my house; it makes me hate having animals. I hate the physical effort it takes to vacuum. I hate emptying the hair and dust out into the garbage. I hate it so much that I stew for days before I finally decide to tackle it. And then it only takes about 20-30 minutes (depending on how many rooms I have to do), but still, I hate it before I vacuum, while I'm vacuuming, and I feel angry after I vacuum because I had to do it. Crazy, I know. But that's how I feel about vacuuming. It sucks (pun intended).
I'm afraid that I'm not having a great experience with Deplin. Since I started it I have had a continuous headache that won't go away. And I've been very irritable. I was doing some research online and found a site that said that high doses of methylfolate could cause several side effects, headaches and irritability among them. The website (mthfr.net) said that you should start out with low doses (but I can't find out exactly what is considered "low"). It does say that the amount in Deplin is usually too high. So I contacted my doctor about this and she said that 15 mg is where they start and then they go up from that. She suggested taking the Deplin every other day. Instead, I've stopped taking it (for 2 days now) to see if any of my symptoms stop. My headache is mostly gone, but the irritability has stayed. I'm so tired of all the guess work and self-testing that goes into all of this. And I've just got 3 months of Deplin (at quite an expense) from my pharmacy (I have to use mail-in due to my insurance). So now I have all this Deplin that is probably at too high a dose and I've wasted all that money that could have been better spent else-where. I'm so mad.
And who am I to believe? Some random website or my doctor? There's so much conflicting information out there. My nutritional therapist suggested going off gluten. Great, one more thing to try and control in my life. How does one go off gluten? Everything I eat has it in it. And I'm not that fond of eating in the first place, so changing my entire diet is far from appealing or easy for me. This makes me feel so crabby. I'm really weary of trying to get my depression under control. Nothing seems to be working. I feel like I'm doomed to live life like this, without any relief from the depression. I really would rather fade away and not have to live like this. The depression is affecting every aspect of my life. It's not good. It complicates everything. And still, I have to vacuum.

Do you have the orange oval tablets with the score-mark across the middle? It is safe to split that kind if you are willing to try a half dose, even every-other-day. The blue round tablets you can split, it just will be less consistent as to dose. Can't make any recommendation if you have the capsules, although I would guess you could mix the contents of one into a food product, then only consume half the food per day. But you'd have to confirm that with a pharmacist.
