> I currently am suffering from schizophrenia and the depression that it sometimes can cause. A while ago I took about 500mg L-Glutamine and was symptom free for about 30 minutes, only to have another 30 minute 'crash' if you will where I was floridly psychotic, quite worse than before. My question is, what could the problem be that Glutamine causes me this remission of symptoms only to have them come right back?
the problem may be glutamate induced toxicity. L-Glutamine can convert to GABA or glutamate. i tried taking it once hoping it would reduce my anxiety but it made me much worse. some of us may have problems converting it to GABA or we are over sensetive to glutamate.
