Hi everyone,
I would like to know people's experiences with DLPA (dl-phenylalanine). I just took my first 500 mg dose today for depression (I also take a myraid of other meds) and it lifted my mood, gave me energy, and most surprisingly, made me relatively outgoing (I also have social phobia).
I'm particularly interested if poop out occurs with DLPA -- I always get that with prescription dopamine and noradrenaline enhancers like Ritalin and Wellbutrin, and increasing dopamine seems to be key for me feeling better.
I would also like to know if anyone's tried TMG, a precursor to SAM-e. I took 1000 mg a few days ago with no effect, then 2000 mg the next day, which made me a little wired in a slightly uncomfortable way. The therapeutic dosage is 1000-3000 mg/day and I can only find it in 1000 mg form. It's meant to have results over a few weeks, not immediately, so I'm wondering if I should stick with it (the pills are huge and hard to swallow for me).
Thanks much,
oceancat
