Moderator Emeritus baroquep Posted October 8, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Hi there, Surviving Antidepressants doesn't recommend any particular supplement with the exception of Omega 3 and magnesium, but if you do want to try L-Glutamine, it is suggested that you start with a very small dose and wait a couple of days to make sure you don't have a reaction to the supplement. If all goes well, you can increase the dose slowly. You might want to have a look at these links: Supplements - what helps, what doesn't Don't waste your money of these supplements.
