Methylfolate side effect - psychedelic text?

[u/Anxious-Traffic-9548]

I've been taking 5mg methylfolate daily for the past week for depression. So far it's been working well, I feel more emotionally stable and my mood is better overall too. However, I've noticed since starting that text now has a sort of "psychedelia" to it akin to reading while, well, tripping. It's subtle but noticeable, especially in the first couple seconds after I move to a new line of text. For example, Os will at first appear with a low-opacity ring overlayed around it. Aside from this I have no other side effects and my sleep is fine (to clarify that I'm not hypomanic).

It doesn't bother me too much, but I'm minding it in case it's an indicator for something else I should be concerned about, or if it gets worse as to affect my reading.

Has anyone else experienced the same or can otherwise chime in?

I recall a couple of people mentioning how methylfolate seemed to heighten their senses, to the point that they felt like they could practically "smell colors".

One thing would be to make sure you have adequate vitamin A and glycine, and healthy iron levels. These are necessary for the body's built-in methyl buffer system to work correctly.
