Dear sir we have a patient 35 (f) of schizophrenia having auditory hallucinations and is taking alkepin 200 mg daily. As per latest research, as the patient of schizophrenia are lacking in glycine, betadine (a predecessor for glycine) has been found to benefit a lot. You are requested to kindly help us by advising if this will work without any unwanted side effects. We will be highly obliged and thankful to you.

Although I am not entirely sure about the benefits of the molecules that you mention, since it is an amino acid there should be no side effects of glycine. If the patient is having auditory hallucination despite being on medication alkepin 200 mg daily, it might be helpful to make dose adjustments or to add augmentative or adjuvant therapeutic measures that target the core symptoms in addition to trying out glycine. Look forward to hearing from you.
