Both oral and intravenous administration showed beneficial effects in 90% of outpatients and 80.5% of inpatients. It is concluded that this combined treatment has a potent antidepressive action based on the accumulation of 1-phenylethylamine in the brain."

However, in my experience, neither DL-phenylalanine nor tyrosine has had much effect on my mood, but maybe I'm just in that unfortunate 10% category. I did stir a gram of phenethylamine into a double espresso once and drank it with parnate and felt a not-unpleasant buzz for a couple of hours.

> A Gram of pea!! That would have caused a hypertensive crisis in some.Phenyalanine may up NE, DA and PEA. I think when you elevate one, than serotonin may go down. For some the higher NE, and DA may help depression and for others make it worse because of the lowered SE. Maybe a good whey protein powder will elevate all of them. I know for some ritalin plus parnate is a good combo but there is the risk of hypertensive crisis.For some parnate and nortriptyline is a good mix. Parnate goes one the ability to tamper with all your neurotransmitter levels.
