How long for brain to break down neurotransmitters

Posted by sowhysosad on April 19, 2010, at 12:11:49

Does anyone know how long it takes for the brain to break down neurotransmitters and, more specifically, dopamine? Or could you point me towards any research?
I want to reduce my daily dosage of L-Tyrosine as I think 1.5g is way too high for me, but I'm wondering how few doses I could take to maintain the dopamine boost through the day. (Shame I can only get 500mg capsules - it's a pretty hefty dose!)
Thanks!
