Betaine and dosage

Medications
1

I take olanzapine now. And as a supplement I also take Betaine. I’m taking 5g(5,000mg) daily.
I feel more energetic and active. I think it is good for negative symptoms.
But I wonder the dosage of Betaine is too much.
How about your opinions ?
And I take NOW FOODS TMG 1000mg.

I think betaine is mainly used as a digestive supplement if you lack stomach acid. The recommended daily dose is 500mg or less. I think using 5grams can be dangerous to your stomach by creating too much acid. If you get unnormal stools I would quit right away.

Hello

IS it a good solution for négative symptoms ?

When do you have the good effects?

Do you take it again?

Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.

Thanks,
