Talk:Glutamate hypothesis of schizophrenia

I am a person who takes a dopaminergic medication and an anti epileptic which is specifically gabapentin.

Sorry I can't pull it up but in the article one section and one paragraph refer to the haves of the brain coming to agreement through the action of the hypothalamus.

My understanding of gabapentin is that as an anti epileptic it comes fairly close to simulating hemispherectomy in that it's down regulates nervous signal transmission to the bridge between the hemispheres known as the corpus callosum.

I'm also a trauma survivor.

In trauma and in trauma recovery we find that the information stored in the haves of the brain does not agree at all resulting in perseveration in many cases.

My understanding is that the gabapentin I am prescribed helps me take a break during the night too slowly enter a deep stage of sleep during which my corpus callosum can mediate the difference in information stored in the two halves of my brain resulting in improved mood and quality of life on rising unfortunately it doesn't last all day..

I realize I'm sharing something fairly personal here and that this is half structured medicine and half something that is only true for me.

I'll leave that for the answers others to sort out others to sort out pardon me I'm using the microphone. I do not mind at all putting this information into the public domain by posting it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGoncz (talk • contribs) 06:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Comment
Much of the page seems to be about the use of the dopamine hypothesis in terms of medication interventions. Where is the info about the glutamate hypothesis?
 * Well, read the Bita Moghaddams' synopsis of the hypothesis from the links section and then improvise on it a trifle bit, if you want, and add the info into Wiki. Cheers, CopperKettle (talk) 08:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I added a bunch of stuff and more wikified it. If anyone feels it's deserving of a history go ahead, but right now, mostly more citations and maybe another section or two should make this article acceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.97.220 (talk) 00:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Current state of schizophrenia treatment
I added some info from a systematic review, but this section of the article might need some attention Lena08041993 (talk) 15:40, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Bad formatting at bottom of page
Hey - not an experienced editor so I can't figure out how to fix it, but it looks like every section after "Current state of schizophrenia treatment" is being included in the table from that section. Could someone else address this? 155.33.134.29 (talk) 03:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
