I'd love to get some advice and input on using this supplement and it's effective dosage. My pdoc said that I could try it. I'm hoping it could replace one of my stimulants for ADD. I don't want to take two anymore. I'm on Ritalin/Adderallxr. Going to discontinue the Ritalin and replace it with L-phenylalanine and keep the Adderallxr. Can you give a little input. Greatly appreciated.

Its basicaly a essential amino acid,a excitatory one as you state with the idea of using it for adhd.Not to be a downer,but most people who attempt to use amino acids for mental issues usuualy dont find it sufficient.Because of the sudden raise you will likly find the initial benifit pleaseant,however after a short while its over excess quickly can cause a lot of problems,agitation,anxiety,insomnia etc.
Also when u supplement a amino,its not recomended it be done without a cycle,i.e a on/off period so the body can re-balance.
It is a stimulant thought,its even in gum and most sugar products.Liquid deprenyl is what id recomend before trying this.
DLPA is also similiar but with a mood elevaion property,and i believe one of the two are actualy banned in certain places in fear they are used to synthesis meth.
L-phen,and tyrosine,are two stimulant aminos,id recomend looking at a site that defines the amino acids,or a good book,its good to know what they do as they are the building blocks of the body.

thank you so much. that was such beneficial information, especially concerning the on/off cycles and yes I have experienced some agitation and insomnia. More with this product than with the adderallxr.
