In reply to stimulants: tyrosine, phenylalanine, dexedrine, posted by andys on July 29, 2003, at 13:33:16
Lar,
I was so pleased that you responded, since your past postings have shown real expertise on the subject. I'm in a pretty depressive period right now, so my brain isn't working too well. So it will take some time to digest your response, and make an intelligent response.
In the meantime, do you feel NADH has a place in this equation? (in that it increases L-dopa in the body AND the brain), so is possibly unaffected by the mentioned bottleneck. The natural question that follows is: what would you consider the ideal regimen for increasing catecholemine supplements, for anergic depression? (I'm currently on 500 mg. tyrosine, but reduced to 5 mg. NADH, because of growing anxiety and insomnia). Interestingly, these side effects started when I DROPPED phenylalanine (I theorized that tyrosine by itself was having more effect, without phenylalanine).
As another side note, I just restarted Cytomel (T3 thyroid), after reading an article about the interactions of thyroid and catecholemines, hoping I would respond better to cytomel, now that i'm on catecholemine supplements.
