> JamesJames, I'm sure your post is well intentioned, but it's absolutely wrong. I have had great result in taking l-tyrosine, in combination with an amino acid complex (Amino 1000 by NOW), and vitamin C. The only down side has been the fact that I've built up a tolerance to it after 5 months or so.
Later in the day, I also take a good multi-vitamin, B-complex, Cal/Mag, and various individual B vitamins. I would highly recommend the above formula to anyone with a need for more serotonin. Anyone wanting more details about this combination, just let me know.
