Wow thanks for the detailed post! I suspect the link will be gone soon but I've actually read that article before. Apparently my retention is really low, I had totally missed the part about ADHD and the percentage increases. Missed the B6 part too. Depression can make you dumb I guess.
Yes I've been taking DLPA on an empty stomach on and off for awhile, it does seem to give me a slight boost and more so with the deprenyl. I haven't tried the L half by itself, in fact I don't think I've ever seen it in a store, only D-Phenylalanine which I haven't tried either. I can say I prefer the DLPA to tyrosine though.
I'm taking 10 drops of liquid deprenyl but hope to be able to back down to 5 mg or less, just wanted to give it a kick start in the beginning. I did have one day when I was a little uncomfortable but it was just that one time, nothing close to a hypertensive crisis so far. One thing I can't find is how long will it take for complete MAO-B inhibition?
Anyway I see a new pdoc Monday, hopefully he'll be ok with continuing this because if not it's on to the next one. I can't afford many more $85 bottles though.
