In reply to Prozac and Tyrosine?, posted by john berk on January 29, 2006, at 13:32:19
I would think prozac and tyrosine would go real well together. I was on prozac for years so I'm familiar with it. Tyrosine has been one of the things I've sampled recently. I personally would much rather try adding tyrosine or dlpa to prozac before trying wellbutrin. I mean, at least your body recognizes them as natural food substances and knows how to deal with them better than foreign drug molecules.
Tyrosine does feel good to me, but it had some problems. It felt best the first day. Depression almost totally vanished, good energy, good interest, good motivation, but not overstimulated or anxious. But then the second day it wasn't as good, almost like the dopamine receptors had already developed tolerance to the extra dopamine floating around. And then I experienced these minicrashes as the doses wore off, similar to let-down after ritalin or adderall. Even though the goodness and stimulation mellowed out very quickly for me, I did notice that beginning on the second day there was a decent anti-anxiety effect in combination with increased energy, which was an interesting combination.
Right now I'm sampling DLPA and I think I like it better because it feels similar to tyrosine except it seems much longer lasting and doesn't have the wearing off crashes.
