I think the glycine which worked. Reason is glycine helps catatonia. Its acts similar like benzo but without the drowsiness. For me the glycine effect lasts entire day.
Catatonia can come like mild and it can be compared to severe negative symptoms. Definitely try thiamine too.
I am curious about carnosine. Please try to take it alone for some days without glycine and tell if its helping.
How much are you taking? Studies used 60g. 30g gave me nausea, I think 20g too.
Maybe I need to take an antinausea pill with Glycine.
I have not took pure glycine instead dimethylglycine, trimethylglycine etc. I can feel the effect from dmg itself. Better cognition helps to reduce impulsiveness.
I don’t think they have the same effect as Glycine. Glycine is an NMDA receptor coagonist.
You’ll destroy your liver on that dose of niacin.
Also, Hoffer has been discredited.
Welcome to the forum by the way.

try taking carnosine alone for 5 days.
Pretty sure its the Glycine as I had more energy when I was taking 20-30g of Glycine. It decreased my appetite too, I didn’t feel hungry for hours.
30g of glycine daily not good even if it give benefits. I think it can affect kidney function.
Since glycine is helping you you can come to the conclusion that you have some kind of catatonia
If its the case then clozapine might be better as it not affect dopamine much to get AP effect.
On the bottle it said to take 60g and in the studies they used 60g so I assumed its safe idk.
1g 500 mg glycine pills there.
Make sure you not take anything which reduces your already low dopamine level. AP is exception as you have positive symptoms. Other than AP avoid antidepressants, omega 3 fish oil, choline supplements, liones mane mushroom etc as these all can reduce dopamine indirectly.
Thats what I used from Amazon, its powder, I don’t remember how many servings/day but one serving says 15g:
You notice nothing for small dose like less than 5g?
I do now at 6-8x 1g pills/day. But the energy only comes after 7pm and lasts like until I take my antipsychotic at 10:30pm. I think the antipsychotic is blocking Glycine’s effects and I need a bigger Glycine dose as at night blood levels of antipsychotic drops until taking the next dose.
Today I am taking 10x 1g pills, took 5 in the morning and soon another 5.
AP reduces dopamine and this is why low motivation and energy i think you have the best motivation and energy during the hours just before you take AP pill.
Yea but with Glycine this energy is even more.
