Last week I had a problem with tyrosine, I was taking the suggested minimum 500mg a day and I felt lousy. So I stopped taking everything, I'm feeling a whole lot better now,  I'm gonna do an elimination diet type thing and stay off of all vit&min for a while and take one at a time to see what happens.

Has anyone else had a sensitivity to  amino acids or other generally considered safe, supplements ?        

hi dear

all aminoacids are safe but it might be, if you take something not needed from your body, that it will be rejected from your body and you might feel lousy; this might also happen when an overactive brain gets' more push like l'tyrosine....so better to let it for the O's .....

Hi Bob -  The older metabolism A protocol called for 250mg tyrosine a couple times per day.  The first day I started it the tyrosine I had was 500mg so I said "what the heck" and took the whole 500mg.  I thought my heart was going to pound right out of my chest!  The next dose I did the recommended 250mg and was fine with that.  I stopped the protocol after the suggested four weeks.

A couple years ago when I was going through some extreme fatigue I tried taking an amino acid complex to see if it would energize me.  The only thing it did was make me feel icky.  I don't take any amino acids now.

Yes Tyrosine makes me feel jacked!  In a way that's real different from coffee (which I don't drink anymore).  It's kind of this underlying upper feeling that is uncomfortable for me.  After giving it a run for about 3 days, I took it back to the store.

I recently ordered Dr. D.'s B-12 and it really gets me goin' in the morning.  I took Rhiodioa with it and got too wired!  

So I'm happy just to stick with the B-12 for now for energy.

The interesting thing is that I recently stopped taking the multi-B that my naturalpath recommended and just went for Dr. D's B-12 and it's huge difference.

Anyone have a comment on this?  Why the B-12 only versus the multi B's would cause such a difference?

I do take most of ER4YT supp's now because I know they were formulated to all work together.  Maybe that's part of the change....

???

Thanks for the replies, I think I got into this mind set that  I couldn't get all the nutrients I needed from just food and that might be true to some extent, but I'm sure I over did it.

bob,
It's good to back off if you're confused about what is working and what is hurting.  You can gradually experiment and add things back in that you feel are really helping you.

Please make sure there are no other ingredients in your amino acid supplement or the encased capsule/tablet.

Could be you need the methyl donor the B-12 provides (methylcobalamin) which is not in 'standard' B-complexes (cyanocobalamin). It's an important factor.

Could be something else though, just a guess.
