tyrosine is not tyramine - tyramine is the bad one. they are not the same thing. you can have tyrosine...in fact i take it on occasional as a supplement with nardil. dont worry about tryptophan either....in the bit you get in one of those drinks...you are fine. these compounds are all compounds you find normally in food...they are fine except the "tyrAMine" not "tyrOSine".
