@Gondwanaland Interesting. I have certainly noticed depression on Folate and thought I only needed more--which does seem to have some effect, though I'm not high enough to be able to really judge (1600mcg/day)--and I am MAO A and MAOB ++. I also feel much more pain on MeFolate. I thought this had to do with healing...
As to MAO, I've been working on this a lot in the past few months, as per the directions of Greg Russell-Jones, our fave B-12 Oils guy. In order to get MAO to really work, according to Greg, one must have B2 working, of course, which requires iodine, selenium and molybdenum--which happened to be the sticking point for me. Mine was VERY LOW and I spent two months titrating up from about 6mcg/day to 150, where I am now. I 'm currently feeling reasonable on B2 at about 30-35mg/day including my B-complex.
It's still all a bit of a mystery. Though, of course, we don't want to be going backwards, or doing damage...
