In reply to Lars, Linkadge or Netch? Dose glycine taurine?, posted by Alvin on August 31, 2007, at 14:46:55
Alvin, I would suggest starting with 500 mg x 3 of taurine and glycine. Total daily dose for each AA is usually 1-3 gram for bipolar disorders. Another alternative mood stabilizer is lithium orotate (5-20 mg elemental lithium)
