PEA is made in the body from Phenylalanine, I think. And Phenylalanine turns into tyrosine, which I have been taking for the last month or so, in addition to other supplements and medications. Tyrosine supports dopamine in the brain, which is good for stress while also keeping alertness sharp.
I take Cymbalta (60) and Ritalin (20 SR), along with omega-3s, B-complex, extra B6, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D, now Tyrosine. I started at 500 mg in the morning, but now take another 500 at midday. I'm convinced it takes the edge off the Ritalin while also extending or supplementing its increased attentional effects. I've had no side effects from the above combination except for vivid dreams (which can be quite interesting!) if I take B6 at night.
