Sorry, not to get back to you Scott. Our Internet connection slowed to a crawl for a day. Thanks for your great answers.
I didn't know that parts of the brain could be overactive in depression. So I suppose that it is possible for parts of the brain to be underactive in anxiety! Perhaps this sheds some light on why glutamine can help some people suffering from anxiety. I couldn't understand how glutamine could be when it is converted to an excitatory neurotransmitter like glutamate in the brain. It also seemed strange that it was then converted to an inhibitor like GABA.
"Really. Unfortunately, I lost much of my passion for it after being pounded by depression for so many years. I don't care anymore how things work. I care only to know what works for me."
Are you hopeful for the future?
