Are you questioning whether you need to take l-tyrosine and 5-htp together? Some people are saying that if you take 5 htp for depression, that you’ll make your symptoms worse if you don’t take 5-htp and tyrosine (5-htp l tyrosine).
In this video Dr Janelle talks about how dopamine and serotonin are made in the body, serotonin deficiency and dopamine deficiency symptoms. She discusses the impact of taking l tyrosine for depression and 5-htp for depression, on their own and together. Tyrosine supplements can increase the activity of the AAAD enzyme and led to reduced serotonin levels. This doesn’t happen with tyrosine rich foods.
Near the end of the video 5-htp dosage for depression (5-htp for depression dosage) and tyrosine dosage for depression are discussed.
If you’re looking for a video about how much 5 htp for depression, 5-htp dosage, 5 htp dosage, 5-htp and depression or 5-htp depression check out this video on that topic: • 5-HTP dosage for depre...

Hi Janelle, I have just bought some L Tyrosine and 5htp.. My question is can I take these with Tramadol... Long story short. I'm trying to get off the tramadol as my back pain has fortunately now improved, the problem is I had become addicted to the tramadol, so Iv been having to take it, just to feel normal So my plan was to eventually get off the tramadol completely with the help of l tyrosine and 5htp.

I just saw a video on being serotonin dominant... and believe I fit the bill. I also suspect, I'm dopamine deficient... I'm ADHD. Adderall was overkill, and quickly became inefficient, destructive to the clarity of thinking. At one time I took an SSRI for depression, and it made everything worse... extremely so... intense adhedonia, no joy, even at things that gave me joy in the past. In my youth, drugs and alcohol did a wonderful thing to lift my mood, increase motivation, and even helping this ADHD guy focus, intensely. I'd rather not get my dopamine from drugs and alcohol.... I need to find a less harmful and healthy way to do so. I will give L-Tyrosine a shot. Thank you.

As a dopamine deficient individual i supplement with L tyrosine or L phenylalanine. I only use small amounts of tryptophan from time time when i get sudden and unusual sugar cravings. This is the trigger that my serotonin levels are too low. However if i take 5 htp or tryptophan alone then my depression gets so much worse. It takes a lot of time and experimentation to know what works for you

@tashalodge1340 2 жыл бұрын

5 htp was awful for me when I took it before. That was without l tyrosine. I've worried a little that I'd deplete my serotonin taking the l tyrosine alone... I guess I can do similar if i start to see symptoms of seratonin deficiency. It's interesting.

I had wonderful success for about 6 months with 5htp at around 150mg a day. I then started having numb hands, neurological issues and felt very unhappy. I believe it was depleting my dopamine levels as it is slowly improving. I am finding it very hard to balance these isolated nutrients. You can find them balanced in foods, almost like that was where we were intended to get them.

Thanks for the info. I've been supplementing with both l tyrosine and 5htp for a few months. I must say, it has to be the combo as there is no way one supplement would do this. But it really does make sense. I have learned about catacholamines and l tyrosine will convert to all 3 catacholamines ( dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine) by addd. And 5 htp to l tryptophan or serotonin. I may suggest adding l glutamine to keep glutamate ratios up with the rest of the neurotransmitters and b vitamins which are good for the acetylcholine neurotransmitter. Long story short, stacking these supplements at the right ratio will give ultimate balance

@jbuddyman Жыл бұрын

Oh and don't forget l theanine for GABA. Taking gaba on it's own is not useful since it can't cross the blood brain barrier. In short 200mg 5 htp ( extended release recommended if you can find it ) 200mg l theanine 1g l tyrosine 1000mg or more of all b vitamins 500mg l glutamine This stack I rely for neurotransmitter balance and I've never had a problem taking this everyday but that's me.

Dr. Sinclair, What do you think about Tryptophan used with 5-http?

@TheWoundedWarrior 4 жыл бұрын

I prefer to go one step above and take tryptophan personally. Study symptoms individually and put it in one camp or the other. If you are serotonin deficient, then take either tryptophan or 5-htp. If you are dopamine deficient, take tyrosine. Don't take one JUST because you are taking the other. Treatment must be symptom based. That being said, one will brake and accelerate the other. You are aiming for a balance but you also need to be taking BOTH amino acids in through your diet anyway or in supplement form. You can't put one into the body and starve it of the other one. Keep in mind, tyrosine+iodine+selenium is needed for healthy thyroid function. Dopamine deficiency can make you tired but so can an underactive thyroid due to lack of tyrosine/iodine. If you are switched on enough, you can actually tell what chemical your brain is seeking. Also, beware of sugar foods. These provide a quick hit of brain chemicals so if you are constantly snacking on them. It can be a sign that you are completely amino acid starved. Throw that in with a bad thyroid and it's a recipe for huge weight gain. Don't forget, tyrosine in particular can affect heart health and blood pressure as well. If in doubt, take them individually, the uptake through your body might be so rapid due to being starved of an amino acid for so long you can experience all sorts of symptoms. In cases like these, take 10-20% of the recommended dose. If the effects then work out to be beneficial to you then just take as required. It's like swimming. You'll soon learn how to ride the waves.

I wonder if the treatment options for dopamine depletion, levodopa will be more efficient than tyrosine, because tyrosine also needs to be converted to levodopa, while the common enzyme is AADC, AADC converts 5htp and levodopa to serotonin and dopamine

I want to quit my antidepressant lexapro and start useing amino acids I also take welbutrin but dont plan on quitting. Can I take both 5htp and l tyrosine with wellbutrin? Also if I start useing 5htp can I stop the lexapro faster? I'm down from 20 to 10 mg but want to just stop at this point

@rafaelhorna868 3 жыл бұрын

You got this! I was on lexapro for 3 years and got of just tapering, 20, 10, 7.5, 5, 2.5... each for 2 weeks. I personally feel a lot better of it and am taking Probiotics for gut health, Ltyrosine and i have cut out my caffeine consumption which tremendously helped my anxiety.

Thank you honey!! Your advice has since my life practically! I just want to know does one interact with the other one if you take them at the same time and cancel the other one out? I read that you shouldn’t take amino acids altogether because L tyrosine and L Phenaline sorry I can’t spell the second time, cancel out the rest! It was in a book by Patrick Holford and he recommends taking five HTP when you want to chill out and taking L tyrosine when you want energy! He says don’t take them together because they will cancel each other out whether he does say there is a need to take one when you take the other one for the reasons you have mentioned in your fabulous video! I want your take on this please?! Thank you for informing everybody and please do not listen to Ungrateful Spiritually unconscious people! LOL!

Mmm that’s nice to learn as I’ve taken L-tryptophan to stabilise heart rate already, now picked l-tyrosine now during 3rd trimester of pregnancy per #medicalmedium thyroid healing protocol advice - box of supplements, to keep up with hashimotos symptoms & fight off the EBV, amazing how I had no idea of the anti-depression thing but I do feel I am sleeping better, catching the first sleep wave earlier, had a nice nap today in the afternoon too, yass 🐍 Also I take 5MTHP sounds as it’s something else as mine is for proper gene development of the baby 😅 nott anti-depression L-tyrosine has broader applications than “anti depression” depression is a symptom to begin with Anyway, good stuff

Thank you for this very informative video I have one question You mentioned not to take l-tyrosine if a person is diagnosed with bipolar disorder Can you elaborate on the reasons why not? And what to do in case of a bipolar disorder diagnosis in terms of taking 5htp and l-tyrosine supplements? Thank you

@DrJanelleSinclair 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Marny. One of the possible causes of bipolar disorder is high dopamine levels. Tyrosine increases dopamine, so you should not take it if you have bipolar. I would look into zinc deficiency, vitamin d deficiency, progesterone deficiency and mthfr genetic weaknesses. I've got videos on all of those imbalances and you can treat the deficiency and this may help bipolar.

I have been diagnosed with anxiety by my therapist due to symptoms regarding to sugar cravings, porn addiction and premature premature ejaculation, however I’m looking for natural ways to overcome these symptoms, so I’m wondering what is the perfect dosage of 5htp for me (of course beside healthy lifestyle habits) And is it necessary to consider l-tyrosine if I’m willing to be on 5htp for long term? Thanks a lot🙏

seems as though your being over stimulated with the porn too much actions coming through your eye gate. sugar cravings use a natural sugar, agave, cane sugar...you can over come it just slowwwww down. you are stronger than you think.

Can I take tyrosine while being on thyroid medication l-thyroxine 150mcg (at least thats the name here in Germany) for hypothyroitism? It was recommended to me for my thyroid and for my problem with always being tired, but when I took it I felt like negativly on fire and couldnt sleep the whole night. Or maybe it was an interaction with fluoxetine I was on back than 20mg?

I don’t want to get on antidepressants because they’re horrible, and I recently started taking them together but I’m scared if I got off of them all of a sudden would I have bad side effects?? Also, does taking them long term do anything bad to the body? Also, can I get serotonin syndrome from taking 5htp & eating foods like salmon 🍣? I’m just overthinking it but I’m terrified of serotonin syndrome. Thank you in advance
