I doubt it but I felt I had to ask.Tyrosine or phenylalanine ought to do that nicely. There is a vast range in the ability to tolerate them, so you may need to experiment a bit.

(Why it isn't activating is puzzling to me though I'm guessing it has to do with where it targets in the brain?) But since it isn't stimulating, shouldn't it be an ok choice for me to try now?
I do not feel comfortable commenting on such a new antidepressant drug. Many such drugs have not lived up to their hype.
Why do you not want to try low-dose selegiline? Remind me, okay?
