Positive experiences
“I find 4-hydroxyphenylalanine and L-γ-glutamylethylamide make a huge difference in keeping myself on an even keel..”
“I have been taking L-Dopa and it has been working for me. My moods have been consistent and my anxiety have been almost non-existent.”
“I load dopamine with L-DOPA+. and Baicalein (MAO-B inhibition)+liposomal ECGC (COMT inhibition). The combo was life changing I uptook so much dopamine also using NAC and ALCAR to speed intracellular uptake. I still feel that 300mg L-DOPA load 3 months later”
“I took P5P, zinc, L-dipa, tyrosine and ext supplements you guys recommended”
Negative and mixed experiences
“L-Dopa is making me a bit anxious but sure helps me with depression and focus.”
“I've taken both L-Dopa and 5-HTP before and they didn't do shit.”
“I have previously tried combining it with l-dopa, but the nightmare that is trying to take a reasonable dose of l-dopa without peripheral-dopamine related side effects is another, very long story.”
“I would discourage the use of L-DOPA, it's long term effects can be quite deleterious to your goals; chronic administration tends to result in irreversible and substantial side-effects”
“Within 60 minutes, I wanted to rip my wifes panties off... My ADHD is completely gone... I was afraid to take it again this morning.”
“I wouldn't mess around with L-Dopa unless you know what you are doing. Just asking for trouble with that one, IMO.”
