DL Phenylalanine works -occasionally- to lift my mood and give me a lift. I emphasize -occasionally- because the very limited, low quality data in ADD/ADHD seems to indicate maybe 3 months of benefit with daily usage. depression...well, it looks like some depressives on Dexedrine back in the 70s were able to drop their uppers and stay on DL Phenylalanine. again: low quality data, old, all sorts of limitations and problems, but...yeah. better than nothing.
in ADD/ADHD, some people swear by Tyrosine. Never tried it myself.
other than that...now and then -- when I remember and my mood is low -- I take Schizandra fruit. apparently, it was used in the old USSR and in China for low mood and such in stable, tranquilized people with Schizophrenia. It seems to...not 'stimulate,' but temporarily bring my mood up to an OK, I can do this - sort of level. I go for the whole fruit, not a standardized extract, but that's just me.
ok. hope this helps a bit. :-)
