I didn't have much luck with either of those, personally. Tyrosine made me very irritable. Phenylalanine, however, does not. I take 500mg everyday and it gives me a nice boost. I never had much luck with tryptophan either. It never seems to give me the wonderful sleep that it gives everyone else (it will relax me at first but then have me awake in the middle of the night) and I tend to get moodier when I've been taking it consistently. But that's just me. I have some ZenBev, which is a natural source of tryptophan that I take from time to time that seems to work better, but it still isn't something I'd do all of the time. What really works for me, in addition to the phenylalanine, is adaptagens such as rhodiola, holy basil, and eurethero. For some reason, they make me feel "up" without it being uncomfortable. They tend to smooth me out without making me feel out of it.
