mgrade Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Really cool.........Glycine seems inhibitory and it activates Cl- ---- is this Cl-ion channel thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Glycine is one of the new drug targets for a schizo med coming out probably sometime next year. The thing about it from what I gathered, is that it's basically a repackaging of a supplement they for the most part took off the market called Sarcosine. It's been shown to be a glycine reuptake inhibitor. If you go through the schizo forums everybody seemed to get a substantial benefit from Sarcosine on all fronts(positive and negative symptoms) and seemed pissed they were taking it off the shelves. You can't get it at the store but it seems to still be available online a couple of places. I guess you take it with some corresponding supplements, d-serine and some others if you want, can't recall it all right now but the side effects were nill too. I was going to try it sometime soon, nothing but good things written about it just haven't gotten there yet, I've been looking up a lot of stuff lately, sign of the times. Here was a link I bookmarked a little back but there's probably some other places to get it. Look it up. https://www.smartpow...hylglycine.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Sarcosine? ......wasn't that the president of France? .......j/k Do you think it's effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I've seen d-serine in the supplement stores I know. Apparently it's not the reuptake inhibitor but it's not far off. If you just look up glycine reuptake inhibitor all these papers have been written, it's the new target and it seems to be pretty effective, who knows how well for HPPD though, I guess sarcosine is coming out as drugname RG1678.

brendan Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 the schiz tests used large doses of glycine. I bought some (v cheap stuff) and took 2 heaped tablespoons (about 50 grams). It made my vision go weird - not hppd but like i had a finger pressing on the side of my eyeball and a bit sparkly in peripheral like standing up too quickly, but more localised effect. Could have been due to ammonia spike? Wore off over couple of hours or so. Reducing to sensible doses now (a teaspoon here and there, not being scientific about it at all). Would there be much difference between glycine and sarcosine (methyl glycine) given how interchangeable they are in body chemistry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 yes, sarcosine is suppose to be exponentially more effective verses heaping spoonfuls of glycine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 sarcosine isn't too expensive, might want to give it a go before you got to go to doc to get it at ten times the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I can probably get you some firsthand opinion on this subject as there is someone who is involved with the past research that i may be seeing soon. I will ask his opinion and relay the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 it's still going to take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 cant find any sarcosine to buy except in testaforce which seems a bit overpriced if sarcosine is as cheap as you say (aspartic acid that is also in testaforce is cheap too, tho maybe the more soluble calcium aspartate they use is more expensive but i doubt it.)

joe Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 not trying to be a smartass but why don't you look up sarcosine buy if your in the uk, you should have different links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 funnily enough i had thought of that. Without scrolling through tens of pages of google, all i could find were basically bulk imports from china or stuff that comes in testaforce. Nothing in sensible consumer quantities.
