Study Summary

Glycine is a natural amino acid neurotransmitter that acts as a co-agonist at NMDA receptors in brain. We hypothesize that symptoms of the schizophrenia prodrome will improve with glycine to a greater degree than with placebo.

Primary Outcome

Scale Of Prodromal Symptoms (SOPS) is a 19-item instrument. The SOPS is comprised of symptoms that are classified as falling into four pathology domains: positive, negative, disorganized and general. The scales identify and measure five attenuated positive psychotic symptoms, six negative symptoms, four disorganization symptoms and four general symptoms. These seven-point scales cover severity variance in the subpsychotic or attenuated range. Each item is scaled 0-6, with 0-2 being the normal ra
