Abstract
The transmethylation hypothesis of schizophrenia was reviewed with considerations that large doses of methionine when combined with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor lead to exacerbation of psychotic symptoms in a significant percentage of chronic schizophrenic patients. It was noted that nicotinic acid in the dosage of 3,000 mg/day can neither prevent nor counteract the psychopathology thus induced.Entities:
