Cycloserine is an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis. It has several side-effects, including irritability and anxiety. It is an analogue of D-alanine. It has been used as an anti-depressant, based on its effect on NMDA receptors.

I am being asked to provide psychiatric support to a patient who is facing 8 months of treatment with cycloserine, and wonder if someone has experience of psychopharmacological interventions that might reduce the negative effects of the cycloserine?
