I may have to reread that to digest it all... maybe taking tyrosine would help with that.
So a question: is the reason you say tyrosine would especially help stave off tolerance with dexedrine or adderall (but not ritalin) be that dex and adderall are mostly dopamine releasers vs. ritalin which is not?
Can ritalin be described as having a mechanism analogous to a re-uptake inhibitor? Is the effect of interfering with the dopamine transporter the same? Do dopamine producing neurons even have a re-uptake mechanism in the way serotonin ones do?
Do you know of any textbooks which deal with this subject in depth? I got out my old neuroscience (Kandel) and biochemistry (Stryker but old) and they are woefully unhelpful.
