What percentage?
My recommendation is to try Deplin first if you prefer to enhance your chances of responding to it as an augmentor.

Exactly which cases, and why?

I guess we'll see the clinical separation between these two substances as clinical usage increases.

I think I've addressed this issue in a few of my posts along different threads.
How do *you* define the word "drug"?
For what it is worth, I have tried mega-doses of folic acid before. I experienced only flatulence. I have tried Deplin. I am responding much better 2 months subsequent to its introduction. That's good enough for me to indicate there is something special about taking Deplin over folic acid.
Maybe its just a placebo effect. :-)
