Hi, I have been prescribed with L-tyrosine for depression. But I am not sure if it is the best cure for my problem. I would certainly like to try any effective treatment, but this is the first time I’ve hear of it.
Hi, actually L-tyrosine has antidepressant activity. It can be explained since it is precursor for norepinephrine synthesis. Norepinephrine and dopamine are neurotransmitters responsible for good mood. All claims about it’s effects are unconfirmed. Results of different studies are mixed, but largely negative. Some suggestions are made that it can be used in narcolepsy and attention deficit disorder, but this expectations were not proven in studies. There is no impact of tyrosine on dementia, Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease.
L tyrosine to assist with sx for blepharospasms? Any info?
