Effects of Amino Acid Feedings in Schizophrenic Patients Treated with Iproniazid

Abstract

Large oral doses of individual amino acids were given three or four times daily for periods of 1 week to schizophrenic patients, some of whom were maintained on iproniazid. Marked alterations in behavior in some patients were associated with the administration of l-methionine and of l-tryptophan.
