Question 1

can you od on l. tyrosine?

Accepted Answer

Yes but rare: L- tyrosine is an amino acid(building blocks of protein), that is not considered essential because the body can make it from other Amino Acids like phenylalanine.  It is part of the production chain of many neurotransmiter (substances that transmit the message from nerve cell) and also important in the production of melanin which gives us our. Od rarely reported but should not be taken in large am.

Question 6

l tyrosine, has anyone ever used this for depression and how efective?

Accepted Answer

Not optimal: It is not a standard treatment and falls in the category of alternative medicine, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but not necessarily a good thing either. It can increase anxiety.  If your depression is severe enough to affect your functioning (work, relationships. Etc.) or cause significant distress, see a mental health professional for an assessment and develop a meaningful treatment plan.

Question 7

if l- tyrosine is taken at night can it keep awake or cause insomnia ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: I don't believe there is much research on this, but l-tyrosine can be converted to the neurotransmitters Dopamine & norepinephrine which are stimulating. It may also result in lower serotonin levels (important for sleep). I always advise my patients who take it to take it in the morning or early afternoon. If you took it and can't sleep this should pass within a few hours. Try some exercise!

Question 8

is it safe to take coleus forskohlii 250 mg and l-tyrosine 500 mg together?

No: You are trying to change your body with material that can not do it. It can cause more long term harm than good.

Question 9

will "5-htp" and "l-tyrosine" help and improve my medication "vyvanse"?
thank you

Accepted Answer

Interesting question: There is no evidence that it would hurt. J Psychiatry Neurosci suggests: L-Tyrosine does not seem to enhance the release of catecholamines when neurons are firing at their basal rates, but it does when firing rates are increased by stress. The main effects of L-tyrosine that have been reported are acute effects in preventing a decline in cognitive function in response to physical stress.

Question 10

can one take propranolol and 5-htp and l-tyrosine together? are there any interactions between them one should be aware of?

Accepted Answer

Propranolol: There is no data on intercations of Propranolol with supplements like those you are on.
