> So you said that glutamine rebounds after drinking? ..

I said: "After drinking has ended, there is a rebound in glutaminergic activity, which increases the demand for taurine further (taurine antagonizes glutamate). "

I mistakenly typed glutaminergic, when my reference in both instances is to glutamate. Sorry for the confusion.

Glutamine is not the same thing as glutamic acid, though both are basic amino acids. In many respects, glutamine has effects the opposite as does glutamate/glutamic acid.


> I know that alot of drugs work by inhibiting glutamine release, but i have noticed that glutamine seems to have antidepressant properties for me .. the day after I drink alot I feel great,

Intermittent drinkers may indeed feel that way. Chronic drinkers do not.

> provigil ( which releases glutamine , right?) , marijuana ( also releases glutamine) also-- so is it possible that if one is too low on glutamine that would be the cause of depression?

Not so sure of those questions you ask. Maybe someone can answer that? Or, I'll look at it later.

Glutamate gets the bad press, as in monosodium glutamate. Glutamine is a different animal.
