> I don't know. My own experience is that amino acids are tricky. They can initially fix something, but then build up too much. I have experienced that with 5htp, tyrosine, dlpa, whey protien powder, rice protein powder, and soy protein powder. With me it is a fine balance that is totally not manageable.

> In natural books that talk about treatments with amino acids they make the point that too much is just as bad as not enough, no matter what they amino acid is. With bulk amino acids, your natural unique biochemistry may be discarding some of the excesses but unable to discard some others, leading to imbalances. Pure theory on my part.

> Methionine is a prominent amino acid in bulk powders. It is a sulfur molecule that stirs up stored toxins such as lead, mercury and arsenic. It is a toxic world we live in. I wonder if you have, or ever had, amalgam teeth fillings. Anyway, with extra methionine beyond a normal diet stored toxins in fat will be stirred up and recirculated throught your body and brain faster than they can be excreted. Psychiatric worseing is the primary symptom. Likely? I don't know. Just a thought.
