Nothing to say : ) I read it, but you know, mind was somewhere else> Short form answer for the ADD afflicted: ;-)
> L-tyrosine -(crosses BBB)-> L-DOPA -> dopamine -> norepinephrine -> epinephrineok. now it's clear : )
is there a way to "pump up" norepinephrine without touching dopamine ? (theoretical question)
does all this mean that I will have for ex. more dopamine in the morning and more noripineprhrine in the afternoon or this model is completely inadequate ?
> I would recommend staying away from caffiene entirely. It's a crap stimulant in my book because it is a cerebral vasoconstictor and diuretic.I know it's a crap stimulant because after drinking several cups I feel bit manic and absolutely unfunctional. Unfortunately I'm quite addicted to it and I don't know how to quit it. Being Adhd quitting it for a day doesn't mean anything: the next day I can forget that I quit it ! Having an alternative to take when I crave for it could be a good trick anyway ... I often look at myself as a Pavlov's dog (even if a bit stupid in remembering rewards and punishment ...)
Thanks for the hint of tryptophane. I will consider it. Another thing that bores me is that I would like to try L-tyrosine in smaller doses ... I read somewhere the suggestion to start from 50 mg and then augment it. But I have only the 500 mg capsules and I don't wanna make a mess in the kitchen ;-)
