Hello,
I have questions about tyrosine supplementation.
Is there any risk of exacerbation of schizophrenia with tyrosine even with time?
A participant said he relapsed because of tyrosine.
What is the risk? Is it a great risk?
Will be the relapse less in intensity thanks to antipsychotics treatment?
If I supplement in tyrosine, is there any risk with tyroid fonction? I don’t want to take a drug to restore tyroid fonction with Time! And consequences perhaps with weight gain etc. No?
Thanks,
Perhaps the question is diet and exercise.
Some seriously good things coming out these days and personally I can attest to so many good gains from this.
Yeah. I take some supplements but it’s just a small part of the picture in my eyes. Diet and exercise do more than supplements for sure in my current thinking.
I think u can find tyrosine in animal food.
L-tyrosine can trigger mania if used long-term. My guess is the relapse you heard about is from someone whose disorder may be mood based.
Good morning,
What do you mean when you say disorder may be mood based?
Are there a lot of relapses when using tyrosine ?
Can I use safely?
Is there any risk with thyroid function? I don’t want to take a supplement for tyroid dysfunction in long term …
Thanks, best regards,
Tyrosine as a supplement can elevate mood. This is generally a good thing, which is why many people take it. Unfortunately, if someone is prone to mania, it has potential to trigger that. That is why I guessed that the person may have mood based psychosis. I could be wrong, just spitballing. Tyrosine in of itself could potentially be a relapse causer in non mood based sz even, since it does effect dopamine levels.
That being said, I don’t think it’s a super risky thing to try. I have mood based psychosis and I was fine taking it. The main thing would be to just keep an eye on how you feel. I don’t think the risk of relapse is very high.
Sadly, I don’t know about it’s effects on thyroid function. Maybe @AmICrazyYet could chime in on that, dunno.
You say the risk may not be very high of having a relapse while using tyrosine .
Like it’s a forum, I would like to have scientific sources to say that tyrosine don’t make relapse.
I really would agree with you and thanks for your answer but I would like to have scientific arguments because it’s possible to have a relapse .
Thanks you
I think Tyrosine is a supplement to avoid for most people taking AP’s. It is a dopamine precursor. The AP usually work as a dopamine antagonist to stop people from becoming psychotic, so you don’t really want a dopamine agonist like tyrosine mixed in the process. I have had bad experiences with this combination using zyprexa. Also with other dopamine agonists like mucuna pruriens.
I did not know of this connection but interesting. A quick search of I found no case reports of tyrosine causing Graves disease. This personally isn’t something that worries me too much but you could do before and after T4 tests to get a handle on it. If you had Graves disease obviously not something you would want to be taking.
Tyrosine conversion is rate limited, it could be all placebo but I think there is an effect. It is not something I would recommend for people with schizophrenia. But it’s definitely not stronger then something like Bupropion, still that is that is prescription hence meaning people are getting medical supervision when taking it.
So it’s also stronger (tyrosine) than Wellbutrin, isn’t it?
According to you is the risk of relapse big?
I take Wellbutrin and no relapse since a long Time
Nevertheless Wellbutrin is related to dopamine receptors.
Did you have a relapse?
Is the relapse ‘‘smaller’’ than if you didn’t have antipsychotics drugs?
When you discontinued tyrosine how long was it to be like before?
Thanks
I felt tendencies of relapse, not that psychosis was imminent, but I could feel that it wasn’t good for me.
Took a few days to get back on track.
If you are looking for something to upregulate dopamine, turmeric/curcumin is a much better choice as it has a much milder effect. It also has many other health benefits like relieving rheumatic disease.
No, he’s saying that it’s not stronger than Wellbutrin.
