Id almost bet on you responding better to DA and NE than SE.
Is tyrosine the best sup? no...BUT this is individual. Like ive mentioned before it has a tendency to make people with anxiety very irritable...thats dose dependant. if you want to try it start very low...open up a cap and dump out like 1/4...take twice a day ok on an empty stomach with a multivatamin (includes folic acid, b's and copper) ok....this trick will increase absorption plus allow tyrosine to get into the brain better as if you have food in ya stomach it will be "outcompeted" and not get in to the full extent.
Like I mentioned dude....mucuna pruriens way better for anxiety patients. many people who complain of irritability on tyrosine say they dont experience that on 'dopa mucuna'....lots of energy and concentration/memory but no irritability but again dose dependent and individual. best to start with this one if you want the best chance of results. its a great synergy of a suite of compounds plus L-Dopa. Dosage: sgain start slow...in the morning, empty stomach with vit b6 (cofactor) - easiest to just take a multi here. Small doses to start. 500mg start dose...then wait a week mabye or less then raise to 1000mg and see...raise until u hit the point of irritability then go down a bit...thats your dose. ride it out....when it "fails" raise again slowly until breaking point then down.
10 bucks (im good for it lol) says you will get some benefit from that bean....but mind your dose and go slow. avoid night dosing if you can...NE at night = no sleep.
