Thread: For people taking epederine please read

you should take a week break after 4 weeks cycle........

Try taking some tyrosine along with a choline source.

Try 5-HTP

12 weeks is WAY too long IMO using an item that will suppress your thyroid without replacing it, but I'm no doctor.

As for serotonin you could try having a yogurt daily, but nothing other than a drug will directly stimulate serotonin production. All you can do is provide the neccessary items to help ensure your body has the raw materials it needs.

I was thinking 3 times a day empty stomach
1000 mgs tyrosine
1000 mgs dl phenlyanine
333 mgs velvet bean (15% ldopa)
b-6 200 mgs
300 mgs St johns wart

before bed
100 mgs 5 htp
1000 mgs GABA

Actually, effexor might work for you, if you can get a script. It's an SNRI... reuptake inhibitor for serotonin and norepinephrine. It'll hit serotonin and dopamine.

Go to a Doctor before you hurt your body more then you have already....

I did thats you told me to raise dopamine levels w/o drugs

in a nut shell
starvation /EC stack - anxiety/ stress- depression- decreased neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin - suppressed testosterone)

HAN, St John's can decrease the effectiveness of some medication. Women on birth control are warned of this, so you may want to ask your doc about that in regards to what you may be on prescription wise.

Thinking again, something like effexor + bromo would probably be perfect.

i am not on any drugs and i don't like the idea of increasing my dopamine levels articfically so that when i stop medication I would be right back at square one. I only on testosterone therapy now. How long will it take it to raise up to my normal levels 900 ng/dl. Figure 1-2 weeks to get in system and to maintain levels

Bromo's cheap, and you dont have to come off.

Whatd your doctor say?

Actually... you can take out the EC stack and this equation still works...

1000 mgs of test will just raise dopamine level even more
SAying EC accelerated the anxiety which was leadning to stress. My levels of neurotransmitters where depeleted when I stopped the the roids 4-5 weeks out from contest and then I went down hill from there.

Short-term effect: cocaine
Long-term effect: SSRI, they are the best, may take a few weeks for things go back to normal but they do not develop dependence. I know that you don´t want to take any drugs but trust me, they are effective. Read about them.

I am having the exact same problem, to much eph and for to long and my serotonin levels are nill, low serotonin is most def can be a cause of depresssion, hence is why my doc put me on zoloft to get my serotonin levels back up, zolofts primary action is to increase and or stabalize serotonin levels, I started at just 25mg/day then went up to 50mg/day, now have been on 100mg/day for about 3 days, and so far I still can not notice any improvement.
