Tyrosine is raw material to make dopamine. So the theory is that there will be a larger supply of dopamine with tyrosine supplementation.
The only scientific studies I am aware of were in the 1950s, where 2 studies show DLPA to be an effective antidepressant at around 150mg.
I've read a lot on the net in the last few years on tyrosine and dlpa, and read many posts at various blogs or forums. The basic summary I come away with is:
1. They can indeed work but which one, or combination, and what dose, vary widely from person to person. There is some trial and error and adjustments to maximize the possibility of a good outcome.
2. Some people find it poops out after a few weeks, some do not.
3. Some people only get side effects varying from tiredness to grumpiness to headaches and overstimulation.
