In reply to Re: hypomania or overstimulation? SAM-e / tyrosine, posted by bleauberry on October 27, 2009, at 18:31:49
thanks for your helpful post. it's strange because when i supplement with b6, folic acid and methyl-b12 (which supposedly converts into S-AMe?) i don't get the same reaction as supplementing with pure S-AMe; like i say, the former provokes a calm, but near-schizoid state in me, where as pure S-AMe is far more pleasantly stimulating.
if i repeat the experiment (depending on where my Parnate trial goes), i may try a lower dose, like 200mg of S-AMe every second day (i assume you can't cut the enteric tablets?).
likewise, i only dabbled with N-acetyl-tyrosine. 300mg (the dosage it comes in) was way too much (i felt really tense and dysphoric), but 75mg was pleasant. i imagine since NALT is more potent than tyrosine, i could get away with a tiny dose.
i also have inhibiting substances on board - my (admittedly roughshod) plan for OCD w/ executive function difficulties was to try and combine something stimulating like S-AMe with a modestly therapeutic dose of inositol.
