Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou, Holden.

This is what I have been wanting to know.
Tyrosine is one of the only supplements that have yielded any results for me...at approx 2g/day. But the effect wears out after a few weeks and I have to go off it. I had been wondering about using Reboxetine as I can get in Australia and the gp said she was happy to prescribe it.

SSRIs are awful, including Tryptophan.

I started looking into GABA and have recently played around with GABA, Phenibut and Picamilon but didn't get the results I was after. I sidetracked to glutamine and have found it very stimulating esp at about 2g/day. I tried mixing 500mg with valium yesterday but the valium sedation won.

Propanalol and glutamine are a little better but not what I'm after.

I thought that perhaps if I found a regulator or enhancer of the glutamate to GABA conversion that I would find social ease. I've unearthed references to taurine and theanine having this function...in addition to GABA prescription drugs.

At the same time I also found a reference to
http://www.psychiatry.ufl.edu/Newsletters/Content/Krystal.pdf
It mentioned that NA and DA are modulators of glutamate to GABA conversion.
So is this what you are talking about?

I'll go and look up your suggestions.

Thanks again, Holden and welcome to Babble.
