Heinz1903 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hi i have been looking for supplements, Outside omega 3 Magnesium and others. What is your opinion on glycine? Does it have side effects and if someone is using it on this forum tell their experiences with it. For what i know about glycine is made of bonemarrow, which can have great effects on the brain, the nerve system. but i'm scared to actually try it. because of earlier supplements that had negative impact after i decreased. eventho it is just a food supplement that you could also get from foods of themselfs. Can anyone here give me a bigger insight? 2014-2020 Haloperidol 2017-2021 Zoloft 2018-2021 Issues zoloft so i decreased on both Haloperidol November 2020 Taper down Haloperidol(barely any issues)March 2021 taper down from zoloft(alot of issues) Zoloft taperdown from march till late june 25mg was my dosage, may 10mg(from 10 too 5 was hard), 5mg in end of june every lowar dosage gave me alot of issues. clean in end of june.

Scrountz Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hey I see no one answered this when you posted about it. Not sure if you'll see this now. What I can say about glycine is that it's a non-essential amino acid that seems to be helpful in improving sleep quality. I took it prior to taking SSRIs at night right before bed and noticed an improvement in my sleep, but only when I took higher doses (3-4 grams). At the time it was safe, without any side effects, and I don't believe it is at all habit forming. I understand on this website very few supplements are generally recommended, apart from Fish Oil and Magnesium. If you wanted to try Glycine, a 500mg or 1 gram dose would probably be a safe start. I'm currently in withdrawal and took 1 gram last night to see how it effected me and I noticed no real effects, either positive or negative. I'll likely try 2 grams tonight and see how that goes, because again, most research suggests a higher dose is necessary for effects. Also, this article by Altostrata goes into more detail and people share their experiences there: 1998- Fluoxetine 2012- One dose of Escitalopram causes suicidal ideation. Started Venlafaxine. Successfully discontinued using a Fluoxetine bridge. December 2021- 4 days of 5-HTP. Had some severe dysphoric symptoms trying to discontinue. Started Fluoxetine 10mg. Provided with five 1mg doses of Ativan as well. January 6th- Continued to take Fluoxetine 10mg. Experienced deepened depression and suicidal ideation. January 9th- 5mg dose. Experiencing deepened depression and suicidal ideation. January 10th- Quit Fluoxerine CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
