DL phenylalanine

[Christ_empowered]

It’s an amino acid recommended by some orthomolecular experts and others for depression pain and adhd.

My official label is schizophrenia. A nurse at the place I go for actual medical care suggested I might just get recurrent intense depression. When she said it I was kind of frustrated . I mean…more labels ? Question a label to replace with a new label ? Really?!?!?



But I stopped to think about it and…maybe? The only so called antidepressants that helped at all were Tofranil and later Wellbutrin. I do not recommend Tofranil to anyone. It’s the 1st tricyclic antidepressant. Released in the 50s. The only good thing about it was…it lifted my mood and energy levels and took the edge off my anxiety without the increase in apathy ssri drugs cause.
Rambling…


DL phenylalanine is used in the body to eventually produce dopamine norepinephrine and epinephrine. It doesn’t block reuptake it doesn’t act as an immediate mood elevator like stimulant drugs it just provides a lot f the source material for the brain to produce neurotransmitters associated with mood attention and overall awareness. Ok

I’m impressed! It has to be taken on an empty stomach. So I take mine as I begin my day generally around 5-6. And…

No jitters no anxiety and also no apathy or anything like that. Just…


Better concentration and improved mood. Surprisingly my anxiety seems better. Some older studies suggest that it can be beneficial in some forms of depression with or without psych drugs in the mix.
