Thank you mrsd and maybee, your help is much appreciated.

mrsd: is this SAMe safe? it looks like there are some good and bad reviews. if i use it and there are side effects will i return to "normal" (i dont consider my current state normal, hence the quotation marks).

maybee: yes I actually had a CT scan on my liver pancreas and gallbladder and all was fine. I have also never read about tyrosine doing anything like this. That is why it is so depressing because it really was working. I will look into the carnitine though.
