L-Tyrosine?

[drfeelgood1]

I’m taking 200mg per day of caffeine pills since I hate the taste of coffee. I do get the caffeine effects such as fast heart rate, energy.

But given those effects above, my mind is still cloudy and blurry and my motivation kind of lacks.

Would L-Tyrosine be useful for this?

 

[drfeelgood1]

I will start out at 500mg.
Would the effects be noticeable after weeks or a few days?

I take 500mg a day, along with some other supplements and have been for the past month or two. The effect isn't super noticeable, but my anxiety levels have been low, and I haven't been as easily stressed or discouraged. It definitely helps.

L-tyrosine made me feel anxious and edgy at 1g/day.

I'd recommend taking it with taurine.

 

[drfeelgood1]

Thanks, but I think I will pass for now.

L-Tyrosine will help to restore catecholamine levels. But if you want a supplement that helps to remove the undesirable physical side effects of Caffeine, while boosting your concentration, you'll fair far better with L-Theanine.

l-tyrosine is the only proteinogenic amino acid that had central activity. a standard dose makes a short but fast starting rush. taken together with l-trypotphan, which had no effect on its own, it felt like an overdose. short but uncomfortable.

I take it together with l-tryptophan every night to boost my neurotransmitters. I've never had much of anything that felt like an overdose, although I might just not be sensitive to the effects. It does make me tired, to be expected with the tryptophan, so I take it at night.

Or maybe I'm just so fried and used to being high that supplements simply feel like nothing to me. Ymmv

I take it together with l-tryptophan every night to boost my neurotransmitters.

the dosage i took might have been a little to high, i just took a spoon full of both powders, not measured. the effects were different than tyrosine alone or the tryptophan which had no effect on me.
