> DenebSorry id much rather not post here as differences of opinions are what keeps boards informative,however i see right here what i personaly feel mis information can do.
Deneb glycine is NOT a anti psychotic,no way no how,not at all.
It is instead a common over the counter nutrient,an amino acid available at any gnc.What this article is about is how brain glycine has been shown to be of aid,usualy in combo with other agents to show promise in treatment of anti psychotic.
However the majority anti psych meds work very differently then glycine does.Glycine like gaba etc are natural compounds that have shown to aid in things such as anxiety also.
Antoehr example is the use of l phenylainine which is just like glycine an amino acid and is commonly used with maois or other drugs to aid depression since it has been show to aid and poteniate ant depressants however it alone is not a anti depressant.
It also is not a official treatment for depression,many people use small studies to promote their products as such,but the fact is they are not medications but natural supplemtns of the body found at your local health food store.
Even one of them that was actualy taken off the store shevles and made a medication would be lopa,and even one such as this still is not considered mono treatment but rather is said to be used as a add on to medication therapy for parkinson.
The only reason i came back to this article,rather then just move on is because it scares me to hear someone refer to glycine as a anti-psychotic,it is in no way not,found helpful in many mental disorders,but if it were to be made a drug even it would probuably be tweaked to be a effiecent drug and still not what it is now which is a store bought legaly available supplement and not a anti-psychotic drug in any way shape or form.
Im not going to post anymore on the topic,im sure i said enough to people who believe both sides,but all im saying is im not debunking the claim of its usefulness however i also clear from view the disinformation that is indeed a anti psych drug to which is is not.
