Good evening from a newbie. I have been taking tyrosine for anhedonia and libido issues. I took it a few years ago and it worked EXTREMELY well for 8 months. I stopped for a while and now that I am back on it I am taking 5x the dose and it is not working nearly as well. I really need it as it is the only thing that has worked. I have been researching but I am seeking out the assistance of more knowledgeable individuals. I have a few questions:
1) What has happened that it worked at a low dose the first time but now does not.
2) Why does it work well for a few days when I increase the dose and then level off?
3) What is the neurological mechanism occuring that causes the positive effects to level off?
4) How can I counteract this apparent tolerance to, what was before, a very helpful supplement. Would an NMDA antagonist help?
5) Obviously the method by which it is working is a dopamine increase. Is this similar to an adderall benefit and level off?
Thank you all very much.
