Methylfolate SIDE EFFECTS...

There appear to be three types of responses to methylfolate:
FIRST: A person who can jump on methylfolate and feel absolutely wonderful. The only down side they experience is why didn’t they know about methylfolate before?!
SECOND: A person starts methylfolate has an amazingly incredible week where they are happy, interacting and alert. Then the second week comes and they switch to wanting to hide in a room by themselves or literally throw dishes across the room out of anger. Or they may become bed ridden from muscle aches, intense headaches or joint pain.
THIRD: A person takes a small amount of methylfolate and feels all the methylfolate side effects right out the gate.
Hmm....I take 15 mg a day and haven't noticed any of these 3 things. I have the double MTHFR mutation and also take mega-doses of B12. [shruggie]

Just wanted to point out that that is a quote from Dr. Ben Lynch. You might want to ask the question over on his site, which is something like mthfr.com. A google search will turn it up.
