In reply to Amino Acids anyone?, posted by gritslad on August 21, 2000, at 19:28:05
> I just skimmed a book called Depression Free for Life by Gabriel Cousens, who recommends a program of amino acids tailored to your particular type of depression. I appear to have a norenephrine problem, so I'm to take phenylalanine or tyrosine. I start the tyrosine tomorrow. Anyone else have any experience with this?
I have found tyrosine very helpful with the depression and Choline an invaluable support in holding the manic top down. Taken together the two helped me quit smoking w/o nicotine replacement therapy and I've stayed on them because they continue to help my treatment resistant mixed episodes. I feel better on aminos than any med I tried. My dosages are 500mg 3x/day. I eventually added Taurine to help with sleep. Life ain't nearly as bad with the aminos. Best wishes, I hope it's helping.
