As always, that was just my opinion, everyone should
feel free to give it a go. If you try it you need to take
500-2000 mg with a good b supplement vitamin (cant remember
what else was needed? empty stomach). The b supplement
vitamin is necessary to ensure the metabolism. My feeling is
that if you feel a sustained effect, it is because you have a b vitamin
deficiency (which is good to fix anyways for depression).
I believe vitamin and mineral supplementation can help depression/lethargy
given a poor diet. I felt a sporadic effect for 2 weeks which
let up. Again, this is my opinion, I can be wrong about
a lot of things.PS.. paulb, do you know anyone (besides clinical
papers), in person that actually survives long term
(months) on tyrosine supp? I just haven't seen
the anecdotal stories that held up over time....
I want it to work!best wishes,
John> I wouldnt be too hasty. There is evidence that L-Tyrosine can be helpful for depression. Ive posted a message like this before to people wanting to try L-Tyrosine. There are many considerations. If you search the archives you should find my advice. If not, and your still interested, just ask.
