Is DLPA better than l-tyrosine? I've tried L-tyrosine and it did nothing. Are you still taking it or did you get a tolerance to is?
This was interesting on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine"Phenylalanine uses the same active transport channel as tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier, and, in large quantities, interferes with the production of serotonin."
Maybe this interference makes Phenylalanine superior in producing catecholamines since serotonin interferes with their release.
What did LDN help with?
Like you have said everyone is different and its trial and error. I have to say drugs that just work on dopamine or only work for a short duration, think ritalin or wellbutrin, don't work for me. I'm taking 2.5 abilify and weening off mirtazapine, but it felt like it was doing something more and synergistic when I was at 45mgs mirt, I hope its just the weather.
Iatrogenic post-SSRI problems: anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. (not a formal DX)
Country:USA
Currently taking Lamictal, mirtazapine, and abilify.
