If you research about side effects of anti psychotics, anti depressants in depth then you’ll be alarmed. Actually supplements are the safest when compared with the other. Anti psychotics and anti depressants are prescribed by doctors as the risk of unmedicated situation outweighs its side effects.
Dmg is a safe supplement and many taking it. Search in youtube you can see lot of reviews by experts.
Meds are the treatment for SZ, not supplements.
Without meds, you could kill ppl or die, it happened to me the three times when I tried quitting meds. Supplements just improves you by a tiny amount. Risperdal increases glutamate function in the brain and is said to reduce negative and cognitive symptoms. I will try Risperdal+Sarcosine next month but my stomach and powder supplements don’t go well together. Everytime I took glycine in the past, I vomitted.
Yes meds is must if its started by doctor and stopping them is dangerous especially if have positive symptoms.
I suggest one more supplement its nac but need to take with co factors like selenium and molybdenum. Doctors best brand nac have nac with cofactors.
Holy basil or tulsi tea have a calming effect and useful for thinking clearly. It have no caffeine.
So a good stack for improving cognitive, negative symptoms include dmg, nac with cofactors and tulsi tea.
Nac with cofactors is very good for improving processing speed. Especially useful if have ocd issues.
If you are so afraid of DMG, sacrosine etc then try phosphatidylserine soy version from doctors best brand. I have tried various brands of this supplement and doctors best brand gives cognitive, mood improving benefits that’s why specifically mentioning this brand.
Phosphatidylserine soy version is very effective for improving memory. It reduces anxiety and thus improves mood. It gives effects close to DMG.
Can you bé sûre that it doesn’t cause cancer?
Because with Google I see it’s à biomarker too…
And is it related to bse because it’s made from bovine brain???
Phosphatidylserine at first is made from bovine but due to mad cow disease its banned. Now phosphatidylserine is available either from soy or from sunflower. Both good with different results. Soy version is stimulating while sunflower version bit sedating. Thus soy version if need to remain active while sunflower version if need to sleep. Both have its uses. If looking for cognitive benefits soy version is best. On the other hand if want more sleep benefits at night then sunflower version is best.
I recommend this if want cognitive benefits like DMG. Not sure about other brands as different brands may not always give same results.
Doctors best phosphatidylserine soy softgel version.
think phosphatidyserine is the best solution
I think it’s not related apparently to cancer
But why is it a cancer bio marker.?
If it’s a bio marker there are chances to cause cancer no?

Phosphatidylserine made from soy and sunflower is safe. No cancer risk by taking these.
Also make sure you take omega 3 fatty acid daily. Now foods omega 3 is best. Just one per day is enough.

I think I’m annoying…
You said no cancer risk…
But it’s nevertheless à cancer bio marker as it said on google
How can you explain that??
Its just biomarker to study about cancer detection, progression of cancer etc and supplementing with phosphatidylserine does not cause cancer. If its the case it would have been banned.
Hello.
I make a lot of research of google. It gets an “obsession”…
I write " dimethylglycine " , " sarcosine " , " phosphatidylserine " and I look for studies for carcinogenicity
It’s a big problem… I would like to test but I saw studies on google which are contradictory…
For dimethyglycine, a person ( Hoorn ) said the mutagenicity was caused by unconsommed nitrites.
Another, 10 years before in 1980 ( Colman ) said the mutagenicity was caused by dimethylglycine.
A work in " Cancer and nutrition" said it causes cancer…
For sarcosine, I had an answer of a person of a website on sarcosine and schizophrenia who said
The evidence for that isn’t very strong, and it’s not even clear if it increases the risk of prostate cancer (bad evidence suggests that it might increase cancer growth when already present). So I’m not sure if it’s a risk but we Don’t have good reasons to think that it is …
What does it mean pratically ?
For phosphatidylserine, I found no study in which is related to cancer.
Furthermore, there is a Finland study which this compound found in fishes is not carcinogen.
As you can see, I made a lot of research in Google scholar for a long time…
What does it all these studies mean?

These studies not so significant enough so not valued much. If there is a strong evidence then these would not be allowed to sell on market.
And are you a scientific or a patient to say that???
No scientific or dr here.
Simply don’t take supplements.
Its much healthier for you.
Its all due to OCD bro, I too was hypochondriac at the beginning stages of OCD which will get better when negative and cognitive symptoms get worse.
Actually the side effects of these supplements is very insignificant when compare with the medications and other foods we take daily but OCD mind simply amplifying the insignificant risk or doubt into a very serious matter.
