Yes, I tend to consider the NMDA theory of schizophrenia the best one as of currently. I think low NMDA-neurotransmission leads to a *functional* (ie. not in terms of absolute concentrations) hyperdopaminergic state in the limbic system.

D-cycloserine has been tested, with inconsistent but somewhat promising results:
