>I believe you do need B6. In fact, I have read that you need several B vitamins with it so it is best to add a B complex. Specifically, I have seen reference to B6, however. I also saw something about C now that you mention it, but can't remember how it fit into the process. If the tyrosine helps, have you checked your thyroid? It seems tyrosine effects that too. I have read about success with DL-Phenylalanine as someone else mentioned and it is a precursor to tyrosine as I remember it. You also mentioned 5 HTP. From something I read, I believe that is an exception to the general meal rules and that you should take it with carbs.
Best I could do. You seemed to really want to hear from someone so I gave it a shot. If I were you, I would read up on everything I said here and see how it fits together. I remember it being a bit complicated. If you are going to try it, make sure you give it a proper trial. Otherwise, you won't know if it might work for you.
Good luck.
