Should I Take This?

How many people take folic acid? I had my annual physical today and they said I should start taking folic acid to protect my brain. I've had two epilepsy doctors and neither have said that before so I have a message into them asking. What has your experience been like?

I took folic acid for about 20 yrs & it definitely helped me to concentrate & focus more while I was taking it. I found it helped me a gr8 deal until I got took off it.

I used to take folic acid until a few years ago until my neurologist stopped it, but I had been on folic acid for about 20 years & I found that it helped me alot in the years that I had been taking it.
