Thats because if I understand correctly l-tyrosine is a pre cursor directly to dopamine, often found in red meats

b-bar,

I remember you saying this before over a year or two ago, and I wanted to ask you how long it takes for L Tyrosine to take effect compared to Sinemet? Does it have the same on and off times for you. Can you give a comparison of the two for you? Is it still as effective today as when you first started taking it? How long have you been taking it? Does it have the same side effects as C/L? Thank you!

Yes it's definitely worth a try, it crosses the blood-brain barrier readily and if you are able to create dopamine from it, that's the key, then it's a subtle enhancement.

Depression Home > Drug Interactions With L-Tyrosine

If certain medications are taken with L-tyrosine, drug interactions may occur. These interactions could affect how the medications are absorbed into your bloodstream or compound their effects. Medications that may cause drug interactions with L-tyrosine include those containing levodopa and thyroid medications. To prevent these and other interactions, tell your healthcare provider about all drugs, vitamins, and supplements you take prior to

thank you! if you don't take levodopa no intreraction. i was told to take sinemet at night, but i prefere l tyrosine more effective for longer time.

[billPD in reply to b-bar]

Sinemet is levodopa/carpedopa

[billPD in reply to b-bar]

How much and how frequent. I take mucuna instead of sinemet

[Turnipbarrow]

Can you elaborate on what and how much you are taking and when? If I understand what you are saying you don’t take c/l . How long have you had pd and if you don’t mind my asking, what are your major symptoms. I’m always looking for what can help my husband without going the way of c/l. Thanks so much!

[MarionP]

Good. If you can't get better, if you can at least FEEL better, that's great. Because everybody does of something. Actually an argument for opium now that I think of it. Hey, "Remember The Wind And The Rain."
