Hi tealady!
I started at the beginning of the Babble Alternative and began reading your posts however I also took a few detours along the way. There is just so much information contained in these pages...my brain was melting down. I also find it difficult to concentrate for long spells. I can't decide whether to pull out a biochem text and start from page one or what..

I had to laugh when you said you had a huge need for chocolate with the Tyrosine. I was just devouring some plus coffee, of course.

When I took Lexapro my addiction for the stuff lessened greatly. We were were able to keep slabs of it in the freezer for days rather than hours. Each time I dropped my dosage, the choc urge arose as did a carb craving until I got used to the dose.
I've stopped taking the Lex and I've regained the choc habit. The same thing happened with almonds.

You spoke of pain, which is also interesting. The PMS was definitely a good deal better this month... didn't get the usual 2 day migraine. I didn't suspect it was a Tyro effect. Just thought I was lucky.

I also had an annoying intermittent nerve irritation in a tooth while on Lexapro. It vanished when I stopped it and started taking the Tyrosine.

The other pains I get are running related....muscle trigger pains in the calves that refer into the heels esp while trying to run track. I dry needle the triggers and as an experiment attempted dipping the needles into magnesium ...also tried it with a syringe (only just below the skin surface). This made the needle holes slightly more red and inflammed but that's all. Perhaps I should try Tyrosine.

Last week I had very sore heels (no Tyro) while doing the track work. This week they were less painful - took a morning dose of Tyro. But I think I need to do a lot more experimentation to work out whether it is helping with pain.

I was also going to try bathing my legs in Mag sulphate (epsom salts) to see what effect that had. I don't know what the absorption is like through the skin.

You mentioned using D and L phenylalanine. I have some of the combined stuff. Do you think it is worth a go?

You also said the Tyro caused a BP increase. My diastolic went up from 70 to about 77.

What ailments in the mental realm do you have?

As I said, tyrosine feels like a beta blocker to me without the slowing down, however I feel like I don't know Tyro well enough and have not tested it out fully. When I go to work or shopping or something 'public' and I am only relying on the Tyrosine the best analogy is tight rope walking without a net. I hope I don't fall.
