It varied upwards after that to 26 grams which is a bit too much for me and now its at 24 grams but in studies it went up to 40 grams. I then was allowed to titrate off the Risperdal completely but slowly. I don't know much about grapeseed extract though I'm on some natural remedies (rhodiola, saw palmetto) but as I said to someone else glycine is not just a "supplement". Its an antipsychotic in Phase II FDA and should be taken under a psychiatrist's care. If someone is taking it by themselves already its probably not a good idea but that is their choice. I just want to make sure anyone who reads this checks with their psychiatrist first and the more recoveries I can identify and bring to the light the more psychiatrists will want to use it.
