Thank you for the suggestion of substituting L-Methionine. Our doctor never suggested that. Am I remembering correctly that after they resolved the depression/anxiety that some people could work back down to needing just the cysteine? Would this mean that the sulfur aminos are the back bone of the program and the 5-HTP, tyrosine, l-dopa are just trying to get you balanced faster? I am not a chemist type so understanding how it works takes me a bit of time and not too few questions, unfortunately.
