Yes, I am also schizophrenic and had a similar experience with Glutamine. Feels pretty good for a while, a little more energy, then later makes you feel worse. There is a theory that the neurotransmitters Glutamate and GABA play a part in schizophrenia on the NMDA receptors in the brain. Taking Glutamine, thereby, might make a schizophrenic feel worse, whereas Glycine might actually calm a schizophrenic. Further, I remember before my psychosis when I was taking Ativan, a benzodiazepine for anxiety, that eventually the Ativan started to slow me down, so I took 500mg of L-Glutamine for a while, and this combination Ativan plus Glutamine felt like I was more balanced. Without the Ativan, the Glutamine never worked the same. And in fact, I hate the side effects of Glutamine now, so I stay away from it. I still don't understand fully why Glutamine would make you feel worse, just know that it does.
