I take sarcosine (1 gram) every morning. I feel like I function better in everyday life when I take sarcosine every day. But it took some time before I noticed a benefit.
May I ask why? It’s more natural than chemical meds and less side effects! (I have a slow metabolism so I am subject to a higher risk to side effects so I try and find supplements and natural meds and such to try and get around side effects) that’s my reasoning, may I ask yours?
three brains, the one upstairs, the one, the heart, the one, the gut. laymen say it might all be the gut. it’s been discussed, years ago on this site.
I have taken it for years now. It provides enough of a boost to cognition that I notice the difference when I run out. Mild help with negs only. It’s not the miracle cure everyone wants with negative symptoms. Not any effect on positives that I can tell.
Well because a lot of these doctors get paid to “like” certain meds that are prescription and if you think about it they are being paid because we need our prescription if they told us oh go down to so and so and get this supplement that is half the price as your prescription they would lose patients and lose money, most of these doctors got into the filed they are in primary to make money
My nurse practitioner found that I am overly symptomatic to antianxiety meds so had to tell me to use something so she said use CBD but tells no one else that I know of to do this
It used to help, especially early on in my prodome. Unfortunately it has seemed to stop working over time. For the most part, all it does is give me headaches these days. I still think it helps somewhat, but it also allows me to feel emotions a little bit, and I mostly just get more depressed about my condition.
in my country, supplement like sarcosine is more expensive than antipsychotics, if they are for profit they will definitely prescribe them to us. However, my psychiatrist said there’s no repeated study that any supplement work so they don’t prescribe them
Medical doctors won’t prescribe supplements because it’s not in their medical regime. Most of them don’t know anything about herbs and don’t want to get blamed if something goes wrong however unlikely it might be. They might prescribe basic supplements like vitamins and minerals, but that’s about it. But the bridge between orthodox and complimentary medicine is getting a little bit better. For example the herb devil’s claw recently got approved as a prescription drug in my country to fight firbomyalgia and other ailments.
