[fu...] Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 As someone who currently is struggling with ocd, I would love to know the dos and the donts regarding glutamate as I am noticing the power of glutamate over intrusive thoughts.

[An...] Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Vigorous exercise reduces glutamate: https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-11/mgh-boe111620.php "The MGH study drew on data from the Framingham Heart Study to measure the levels of 588 circulating metabolites before and immediately after 12 minutes of vigorous exercise in 411 middle-aged men and women. The research team detected favorable shifts in a number of metabolites for which resting levels were previously shown to be associated with cardiometabolic disease. For example, glutamate, a key metabolite linked to heart disease, diabetes and decreased longevity, fell by 29%. And DMGV, a metabolite associated with increased risk of diabetes and liver disease, dropped by 18%. The study further found that metabolic responses may be modulated by factors other than exercise, including a person's sex and body mass index, with obesity possibly conferring partial resistance to the benefits of exercise."

[di...] Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Stress management is probably the most obvious thing that I can think of. If you're in the thick of withdrawal, even stimulation management (a concept I just invented, maybe it's been said before) would be a really good idea. Read books instead of looking at screens. Avoid conversations about topics that upset you or even excite you. There's nothing wrong with a bit of boredom. Boredom is good for your brain. In that vein, breathing and meditation would help a lot in this regard. Broadly speaking, it's about controlling your living environment so that it is not too activating/stimulating and the more you can do towards this end, the easier it is to stay on an even keel, and the less excitatory activity in your CNS.
