Default Don't underestimate....
the power
of glutamate

Enough silly humor! The fact is that gluamate, in addition to burning up your brain, can ruin your whole day as I have learned the hard way.

People's sensitivity varies and I seem to be out there on the scale. Some folks eat Chinese and get headaches. I get so "off" that a handful of sinemet has no effect. It takes six to eight hours to regain some control. This is a relatively recent problem (the last six to twelve months) too.

It shouldn't be a surprise once one thinks about it. Dopamine is inhibitory in nature ("slooow dowwwn") while glutamate is excitatory ("SPD UP!!") and dopamine is low already. So shove an egg roll in the face and zowie....
