Larry (or anyone else), let me preface this by saying that i understand that this combination may be somewhat risky. i'm personally okay with it though-- but careful too-- it really doesn't do much for me. i also cautiously take up to 500mg l-tyrosine every once in awhile, and that can be fairly potent while i'm on Nardil, but i never get a headache or anything like that. Anyway, forgot about the risk factor though, please. ...
But, i was just curious whether you thought that supplemental phenylalanine, while on Nardil, might possibly have a good portion converted to (and/or kept as[?] [i forget what the exact effect/reaction is]) phenylethylamine as occurs with selegiline with phenylalanine. i know that selegiline is a potent MAO-B inhibitor, and Nardil may not be that much (compared to MAO-A-- and compared to selegiline). However, seeing as how Nardil does inhibit MAO-B to some significant extent, do you think that taking phenylalanine w/ it would produce some of the same beneficial PEA effects as selegiline does?
Mucho thanks!
