In reply to Glycine powder, safe for manic psychotic induced?, posted by Jeroen on May 13, 2010, at 20:43:34
Glycine does have some antipsychotic properties. I have had good experience in the past with glycine. The problem is finding the right dosage. Some people can take very large amounts whereas people like me can only take moderate amounts, say a maximum of 4 or 5 grams per day. I did have the experience where I took 7 grams and had a bout of depression, so be careful of your dosage. Try smaller amounts first and see if that is helpful. One source says that for psychosis, you might need 30 grams per day. To me, it sounds preposterous. Taking an antipsychotic medication would probably be safer than downing 30 grams of glycine per day, not to mention, probably less expensive as well.
