Default Amino Acids

Wondering if any of you have luck with augmenting amino acids like L-Cysteine, L-Tyrosine and 5HTP to enhance L-dopa supplementation and balance mood? If so, has this helped you with depression? Finding a balanced, beneficial range is not so easy but, when friend Jan recently increased her L-Tyrosine level, anxiety loosened its grip and she seems to be experiencing a hopefulness she's been missing long on her PD trail. These aminos seem to help the efficacy of L-dopa, Jan's original goal. We're not sure how many eggs to put in this basket, especially how tenable it'll be to work with aminos long term. Would be good to hear from others on this.

Thanks,
Trisha
