sarcosine is basically a "glycine reuptake inhibitor". It is making me a little nervous and akathisia like. I will probably change and try glycine instead. I suspect this reuptake inhibitor business gives me akathisia in general.
Scott, i am responding to Acetylcysteine big time. Also i reacted to lamictal in a way that i didnt need antipsychotics anymore.
Does this mean that i may be cured afterall?
Id really appreciate some guidance/thoughts.
