Thanks for any and all input.I have been tinkering about with 500mg of L-Tyrosine on an empty stomach in the morning for a couple of months now and it seems to be helping somewhat. I heard that L-tyrosine was a precursor for thyroid hormone recently, so I wonder if I just took thyroid hormone directly it would be superior to trying supplements. Perhaps that is what we should be focusing on instead-the thyroid hormone connection with depression.
