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?
 
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.
 
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

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.

OP I know this is old but if you're looking to go only the amino acid/supplement route I'd recommend up to 1500mg tyrosine up to twice a day (start with 500 and see how you feel) and I'd also pair it with up to 800mg L theanine up to 3 times a day (start at around 4-500mg) theanine is a great amino acid and it's fantastic at reducing minor stress and anxiety especially for it just being an amino acid. I've had decent results pairing these two and while they're not the end all be all solutions they can still help significantly in most people. Best of luck to you

I higher dosages for sure can be edgy best to start low at 250-500mg for a couple of weeks and titrate your way up to max of 1500mg total daily. It's best paired with theanine to balance it out though in my opinion

Head clouds/ Blurry/ Lack of Motivation while under influence of Caffeine.
Sounds like me, don t know if other s do get a Brain NRG boost.
But to me it seems body oriented mainly, as my mind actually gets distracted
by the side effects of Caffeine. Which i just stopped when i learned it aggravated
Raynaud Syndrome.

But only from Coffee, NRG-drinks [chemical ones] and pure Caffeine.
Never from Guarana, Green/ White/ Maté/ tea s. Or extracts.
Especially Guarana, imo XR Caffeine with cooling properties [Coffee is warming]

As drink i go for Matcha powder, high Caffien and l-Theanine. Or Maté.
With as needed Guarana. When i was young.

L-Tyrosine, never tried it but Amino-acids never produced much noticeable resuts.
YMMV, this site i just found looking for absorption of single things like l-Tyrosine.
And if it works, sometimes they do sometime s not.

And now i know now what BCCA s are, informative site !
