I've had depression and panic attacks for most of my 40 years of life and thought I'd finally found the one thing to help me. Took 750mgs of Tyrosine in the morning for 3 days.

Last night, had the worst panic attack of my life. Thank God I had Klonopin because I was a mess. I'm so sad today because I really felt like the tyrosine was helping a little with depression. Definitely wasn't helping the anxiety, so I was worried this might happen.

This amino acid literally changed my life. I suffered from depression, fatigue and many more issues. Nothing helped so i went for research myself. I searched into the nootropic world and tried to find the stack thats helping me with endurance, stress, depression, overall energy levels. Now i’m taking 5000mgs of L-tyrosine, 200mg 5-HTP, 400mg L-Theanine and 500 mg Choline/Inositol. This is the best ... Show Full Comment

AFAIK, there are something like five groups of neurotransmitters that affect depression (serotonin group, dopamine group, opioid group, GABA group, norepinephrine group), but most antidepressants only target serotonin. Antidepressants and supplements targeting serotonin have never worked for me, causing only feelings of rage plus other bad side effects, but no decrease in depression. Tyrosine help ...

AFAIK, there are something like five groups of neurotransmitters that affect depression (serotonin group, dopamine group, opioid group, GABA group, norepinephrine group), but most antidepressants only target serotonin. Antidepressants and supplements targeting serotonin have never worked for me, causing only feelings of rage plus other bad side effects, but no decrease in depression. Tyrosine helps the brain increase dopamine, which means more pleasure. My depression was more anhedonia (lack of joy, about anything) than absolute pit of despair. Tyrosine really helps make life more pleasurable - food tastes better, comedy is funnier, everything is just more enjoyable, so life feels more worth living, which is what I needed. 500 - 1000 mg daily. Sometimes I substitute Phenylalanine, which is a precursor to Tyrosine that also affects other neurotransmitters, but it acts a bit like a stimulant and can affect my sleep.

For the past 6-8 months I have been getting bouts of minor depression that were seemingly spontaneous. Having a bad mood, negative thoughts, being quiet, no excitement, etc...I do a google search and read something about epinephrine which leads me to tyrosine, something my gym-going brother keeps in the kitchen cabinet. I take about 300-500mg only one time and I just felt like my normal self after ... Show Full Comment

I take about 300-500mg only one time and I just felt like my normal self after about an hour :) Guess I had an epinephrine deficiency or something.

I find that 500mg on an empty stomach every few days is sufficient to keep my depression at bay. However, I do seem to develop a headache much later in the day on days that I take tyrosine.
