I forgot to mention the positive sides.
Yesterday evening I went to a party and I acted like the amphytrion. I have never ever been like that. I was able to improvise a blues song with a lot of people listening to me : o I said hi to all the people at the party which I never do and talked with almost everyone. It's maybe the most amazing change I got from psychotropic substances and this big change makes me a little anxious.another issue is that I've experienced yesterday a couple of "dumb distraction" episodes. I took the wrong bus and on the bus I met a gut I knew of whom I couldn't recall the name. It was very embarassing. I had similar episodes with Wellbutrin and Ritalin but I don't want to generalize. I think I could do much better on tyrosine if I would be able to avoid coffe.
Unfortunately I find myself preparing expresso and drink it before realizing what I'm doing. I would like to avoid coffe to know for sure what's dued to L-tyrosine and what is dued to a possible interaction.
Moreover I find myself to be less sharp on tyrosine. I mean, sharpness raises also from the capacity to disconnect from what's happening and on tyrosine I am much more connected.
Like on Ritalin I act also like a business-like person, thinking about 'facts' and what to do next. It's weird, that's the only thing I can say. Above all, it seems that I like my being ADHD and that I would like to be very emotional and sensitive as I am and at the same time concentrated, and the combo is maybe impossible.
One question for DA man. You mentioned that my focus problem can be dued to NE and not to dopamine but NE is a precursor of Dopamine. What I'm trying to say is: taking tyrosine am I also increasing dopamine levels ?
