New study say Acetyl-L-Carnitine related to TRDepr

Posted by PeterMartin on July 31, 2018, at 9:24:46

People with depression have low blood levels of a substance called acetyl-L-carnitine, according to a Stanford University School of Medicine scientist and her collaborators in a multicenter study.

The new study, also initiated by Nasca, recruited 20- to 70-year-old men and women who had been diagnosed with depression and, amid episodes of acute depression, had been admitted to either Weill Cornell Medicine or Mount Sinai School of Medicine, both in New York City, for treatment. These participants were screened via a detailed questionnaire and assessed clinically, and their blood samples and medical histories were taken. Twenty-eight of them were judged to have moderate depression, and 43 had severe depression.

In comparing their blood samples with those of 45 demographically matched healthy people, the depressed patients' acetyl-L-carnitine blood levels were found to be substantially lower. These findings held true for both men and women, regardless of age.

I would try but what about the psychosis risk? Schizo-Affective is my diagnosis.

Yea I came across a post you made about mania/psychosis risk.

I would be afraid of that too.

At this point I don't think I'll risk it but I'd love to hear stories from any who has had success with it. If you stopped taking it why?
