I have taken almost all of the readily available stims and I do think that they can cause the neurotransmitters to become unbalanced.
I benefit from a tad of seratonin enhancement and GABA whentaking stims in a way that I do not otherwise. 5htp is good and usually does the trick for my mood. I also have taken Taurine at night with good effect (GABA) L-theanine is good fro when the Dex is wearing thin and you feel a bit out of sorts. It's calming and focusing but not sedating the way 5htp can be.
Personally, I noticed Tyrosine to be better that DLPA. I took anywhere from 500-3,000 mg split into 2-3 doses. The combo of Tyrosine and 5htp is really good. You might try taking a small amount of the 5htp on a regualr basis (daily 25mg?)
NAC is a great addition to stims as well. 500mg twice a day. Be sure to keep your aminos and protein foods seperate. Juice and carbs will help them into your system. B vitamins and zinc help me lots too.
This is all off the top of my sleepy head so doublee ck my info.
The aminos really, really make a difference. I had a dr. prescribe them to me in amounts well over what I had been taking and I was amazed at how much the larger doses help.
I can check the name of the brand he gave me if you like. They were formulated for depleted brains and worked well.
Take Care,
Kaye
