Nitrous oxide is indeed N2O. And to think I used to be a chemistry student. I was planning on 4 to 5 mg of folic acid for my wife. I do plan to try to get a prescription for pills of that magnitude (if they are available) when she returns from a month-long trip to exotic Cedar Rapids, Iowa. But one source told me that 1 mg is the max now, and since I can buy .8 mg in the store that's not likely to save much money. I found the N2O/B-12 reference in a used bookstore (Powell's), but since the book was ~$20 I didn't buy it. I'll look for it next time I'm there. It was fairly recent (1983?) and quite well written.
