Perhaps the best in the way of "balance" you can attain Alexander, is the combo of L-Tyrosine and 5-HTP...since it allows you to specifically adjust dosages to a ratio of best fit. Although the efficacy of these supplements is probably no where near that of most rx meds...but I dunno. They work well for augmenting maois, from my perspective. And they are both components of food we eat (not to overargue safety here though).
