MTHFR C677T +/- means that MTHFR is running at 65% of optimum. But that's pretty average in the general population. Everything else looks completely normal.

It's a fairly mild mutation by itself. It doesn't reduce B12 levels, so I can't see why it would indicate a need to supplement B12. It might reduce folate levels a bit, but that usually isn't a noticeable problem aside from for women who are pregnant. If concerned about it, a diet with a different amount of veggies or supplementing a normal dose of folate (400-800mcg) has been shown to be quite sufficient in a couple research studies.

The only ones worth noticing:
MTHFR C677T rs1801133 AG +/-
MTRR A66G rs1801394 AG +/-
CBS C699T rs234706 AA +/+

MTRR A66G is the most important MTRR, so some form of methylB12 might help you.
CBS is an upregulation which converts homocysteine to amonia and hydrogen sulfate. In general, this is 'protective' against diseases that are caused by high homocysteine. But some people have a hard time detoxing these products, leading to brain fog amongst others. But you don't have a BHMT mutation, so I don't think it's a big problem.
Also: Praise yourself! You don't have COMT mutations, so you should be able to tolerate methyl donors.

Hi thanks for the info my friend.. I have tried a few things and don't seem to tolerate mfolate or things like methionine, sam-e, and stuff like that.. but I think this is still because of a very long drawn out withdrawal from citalopram.. I was never sensative to anything before citalopram or the 4 years on it.. but boy the last 2 years have been Hell.. withdrawal effects didn't hit me till 6 months off the devil drug ..... but and going to try b12 and folate again and go up very slowley.. I do suffer brain fog as it goes.. much worst in morning.. but so is my anxiety .. thinking of trying some cbd oil.. as I am getting high cortisol Especialy morning time.. feels like adrenalin is out of wak

I have been through a horrendous SSRI withdrawal and have researched this a lot. If your cortisol is high, the first thing I would do is take Seriphos or Relora for 8 weeks or so to lower your cortisol. You can also try Neuromedulla Complex if you're having issues with sound sensitivity, etc. Then calming supps such as magnesium and GABA or theanine. A bit of 5htp may also be helpful, as SSRI's deplete serotonin.

If you've been off the drug for 2 years, I would not try to reinstate or take any other SSRI's (or SNRI's). Withdrawal hit me about 6 months off the drug too. I was able to reinstate the drug, and am now in the middle of a (probably) 4 or 5 year very very slow taper off the drug. During withdrawal, my adrenals were five times higher than normal - literally off the top of the chart!

The Paxil Progress forum used to have great info on SSRI withdrawal, but they closed down about six months ago. I had every symptom they listed except for head zaps, and that's probably only because I take fish oil.

I don't think I would get into methylation supps until your adrenals are calmed down.

Tyrosine is supposed to be a natural antidepressant. I orderded it, but I forgot to pick it up at another place, so I can't say much about whether it is effective or not.

I have just had some cbd oil today so going to take some tonight.. this has been shown in clinical trials to lower cortisol and adrenaline unike a lot of other supplements on thke market... but it's bloody expensive hahahah.. also it's said to be good for anxiety and depression... Will give it a go.. and also may try some very love dose theanine.. every supplement affects me big time now... So have to be careful... Sucks ..

Intact might try relora as theanine raises dopamine also.. and I think my domamine is naturally high... And it can also affect adrenaline I think..

That's interesting about CBD oil. I'm glad there's another alternative.

The Paxil Progress' forum stance was not to take anything, just sort of white knuckle it out and/or do counseling. The good news is that most people are fine after three years (you're already two years in).

It's just very confusing as some people say the benifit from treatment though.. but if that is the general opinion on it that it doesn't do much I guess that's that :)

Depends how you look at it. It lowers homocysteine and thus lowers susceptibility to the diseases that are related to high homocysteine. But it increases the production of amonia and hydrogen sulfate which can lead to brain fog.
