I hope you can find someone who really understands amino acids and the brain to at augment your treatment plan with this approach. It works so quickly to help the mood and seems worth handling difficulty in getting the right balances. Of course, Jan's neurologist thought this was far-fetched until he saw it working for her.

How did you come up with the 5,000mg of l tyrosine? And how do you find a balance between the three you mention? Did you go to someone to help find this balance or did you experiment on your own, and also, does Jan take any other supplements (if you don't mind my asking, of course). Thanks.
