J Galt, Is l-tyrosine different than n-acetyl-tyrosine? If so, who makes n-acetyl-tyrosine?
I can't tell if the GABA is working or not since I also take 1 mg of klonopin per day, split into 2 doses. I'm hoping the GABA will somehow augment the Klonopin but somehow I doubt it. One time when I first bought GABA I ate 9 grams to see if I could get an effect similar to the drug GHB that everyone seems to love so much (i've never tried it since I don't know how to make it)- It made me feel like cr*p. Kind of like I took too many Benadryl, & I felt hungover the next day. I used to take 1500 mg of GABA but I read in the Anxiety & Phobia workbook that you should not take more than 800 mg so now I just take 1 pill at bedtime (750 mg).
Anyways, about the aminos dl-phenylalanine & l-tyrosine--- If dopamine > >norepinephrine > >epinephrine then would I achieve the same net effect by just taking 2 bronkaid asthma tablets in the morning (50 mg ephedrine sulfate (oral epinephrine)? I am not really trying to achieve an amphetamine effect since I have excessive anxiety & social phobia around attractive women- I am just sick of psychiatric medications that don't work & make me 'dumb as a brick' & am trying to return the neurotransmitters in my brain back to my pre-depression normal person levels.
One more important question-- SAM-
E is ridiculously expensive $46 for 80 Nature's Made tablets at Costco which is the cheapest place to buy anything. I read that the precursor to SAM-E is methione. Methione is far cheaper, if I take that will it metabolize to SAM-E in my body, therefore achieving an anti-depressant effect while saving me lots of money?
Is methione an excitatory or an inhibitory transmitter?Also, do you know of any aminos that would help with social phobia/anxiety? I guess all of the inhibitory aminos would be better than the excitatory for that condition??
Thanks, 3 beers
