> hi, i have read that, in schizo, you have low levels of glutamate, and lamictal blocks the glutamate so as a result you get a worsening of psychosis or acute psychosis

Possibly in writeups... but the case reports that I have seen in literature on the net and in journals of very short use of Lamictal that has led to psychosis all terminated with the removal of Lamictal.
I still say without prejudice that there are a number of other factors going on and that causation in this case is not causality.
(I know, I hate that term because I can definitely link up certain things -- tics and syndromes due to certain neuroleptics, but I've probably been sensitive to those my whole life until I started to need them [offlabel])
