Folic acid helps brain function so it makes sense that it could help.

My Psych APRN conducted a GeneSight test on me to determine what ADs my DNA would best metabolize.  In that test it came back that my methylfolate  levels were on the low side. 

The APRN indicated that healthy methylfolate levels are crucial in aiding ADs in crossing the blood-brain barrier.

A quality l- methylfolate (15mg) is very expensive.

With chronic alcohol  use, you can become deficient float e and B 12. Generally it's due to lack of absorption ability through the intestinal tract or lack of consumption thru diet. That might be why you're feeling better by replacing the essential vitamin you for neuro protective capacity ( and formation of nucleoprotein creation) and specific coenzymes to rid your body of toxic metabolites.

Current recommendation is 15 mg if you have been shown to be deficient.

May want to check your B12 levels also.

Glad you're feeling better!

Yes it could. Prilosec can interfere w absorption of many essential nutrients due to the down regulation of proton pumps that secrete hydrochloric acid to break down food and absorb nutrients properly.

I'm taking Vitafol. It is a vitamin with folate. Helps take the edge off.
