Can Deplin Cause Heart Palpations, Cramps, Anxiety And Tiny Rashes On Body?
I have been on Deplin since Dec. 20, 2014. In January I started to have heart palpations, extreme legs cramps, feel like I am being choked, chest hurts, extreme headache, insomnia, anxiety, feel like I am in full gear. Have been this way since, my doc tells me its not the Deplin. I got him to lower the dose, symptoms dramatically diminished. Now on 7 & 1/2 mg. still have the same symptoms. Have a tiny rash bumby then break open scabs. I am wondering if I am allergic to it if so I need to tell my doctor.

Hi,
Deplin is a medication that contains L-methyl folate, a form of folic acid that is used to treat depression and other mental health conditions. While it is generally well-tolerated, some potential side effects may occur, including allergic reactions.
Symptoms such as heart palpitations, cramps, anxiety, and rashes may be side effects of Deplin. These symptoms may be related to an allergic reaction to the medication. Other possible causes could be an interaction with another medication, an underlying medical condition, or a reaction to an ingredient in the medication.
It is important to talk to your doctor about any symptoms you are experiencing while taking Deplin. Your doctor may recommend that you stop taking the medication or switch to a different treatment if they determine that Deplin is causing your symptoms.
They may also recommend further testing or evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, if you experience any severe symptoms such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
