Thanks so much. I found the article interesting. I am going to continue to experiment with aminos to find the dosages that work for me. I over did it with L-Tyrosine and L-Glutamine a couple of months ago. I think I didn't start slow enough and work my way up to my optimal dose. I became very agitated and shaky. And, I found when I was taking the L-Tyrosine, having a cigarette would increase my heart rate and nervousness and cause dizziness. Again, I think I was taking too much, too soon. Perhaps it had to do with the dopamine surge from both the cigs and the L-Tyrosine. I don't know. I am going to try again, but slower this time and, hopefully as a non-smoker. When I was doing some research on aminos on the net I came across a web page where Margo Kidder talks about her supplement regime for treating her manic depression. It seems she is having good results treating her manic depression naturally, with aminos and vitamins. Anyways, my doctor does not have a problem with my supplementing with aminos, including 5-HTP, while taking an AD. It's nice to know that there are natural alternatives out there besides herbs.
