In reply to L-tyrosine ... how much, posted by Maxime on April 28, 2005, at 23:37:22
Hi Maxime -
I also suffer from an eating disorder - off and on - thankfully more off than on these days but i totally sympathize.
My guess with the tyrosine is it's fine to take as it is just a precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine and not serotonin - but wait for other people's replies as they know more about this.
If you don't mind me asking, do you take any other vitamins/minerals? It's just that I found with the ED that I was getting very deficient in a few things (this was years ago now); for instance I had a zinc test done and I was woefully low in this mineral. These days I do take a multivitamin and especially a multimineral for when the ED gets bad/comes back. The multimineral I don't take all the time but seems to be very helpful to guard against zinc/cal/mag depletion etc.
