Tyrosine questions

Posted by sabre on November 6, 2004, at 22:15:46

Hi
I have recently started using Tyrosine, in addition to:
- fish oil
- SJW
- Vit C and B
- magnesium
and a very low dose of Lexapro...1mg/day. I'm going off it because it just seems to aggravate panic and SA.

I didn't notice any effect after the first dose but noticed definite clearheadness, energy and easier breathing while running the following day after taking another dose.

Today I tried approx 3/4 tsp under the tongue before a timed handicap running event.

Usually I'm embarrassingly nervous and although I felt uptight, I took my pulse and it was just under 60bpm...under this anticipatory stress it would usually be 90. My resting pulse is usually in the 50s.

I was about 20-30sec slower than I expected and felt as though my heart rate wouldn't get going.
I felt pretty calm after the event. Probably more than usual.

Does Tyrosine usually have such a powerful effect on heart rate? How long does its effect usually last? How long does it take to get it out of your system totally?

I usually train in the morning and if I could take it after running i.e. before work, it might prove useful as a calming agent but not interfere with training.

I find the anticipation of a race provokes anxiety although not in the same league or nature of social anxiety. Running stress is predictable and the anxiety can be funnelled into physical effort. It is logical and expected. Social anxiety and panic are unfair. There is no where to dissipate the adrenaline...you just sizzle and fry in your own juices and then go on to worry about it happening the next time.

Thanks
sabre
