Hi Brian,
Just looking into another sup here...i'm gonna begin this one shortly...no experience with it yet. Called 'arginine' its a precuror to a brain neuro called 'agmatine'. Agmatine increases monamine levels (NE, DA, adrenalin, but not SE) similar to desipramine (a tca). It works by blocking NMDA receptors (glutamatergic receptors) similar in the way memantine works.
I'm real curious about this one as an augment to nardil. It's easily available in sup stores if you wanna try. Or are you turned off by the tyrosine and dopa bean trials? lol
