> I haven't tried DLPA or carbidopa. I tried NADH but did'nt feel anything. There are no non-pharmacuetical D2-D3 specific supplements that I know of. There is a maximum rate at which the body can convert tyrosine to dopamine. If the body hasn't already achieved that maximum rate, tyrosine supplements may be able to inrease the overall dopamine levels as I understand it.
James here....
Given that these aminos are well represented in all food in signicicant amounts supplementation
does not seem to work for depression, If you take additional aminos you body sloffs the excess off.Also depression is really not about having enough neuro transmitters (and their percursors) but about regulation (reuptake, down regulation) of NT's. If depression was an EZ tit for tat condition (take more aminos, be happy) we would of cured depression in the 1940's.
If you are a speed addict then you are burning aminos like crazy, so aminos are helpful in replacing what you burn and good if you are trying to get off speed. (to help your body make up for NT deficit)
