Hi guys,
Great posts, journals, etc. It is really helping me out. After almost two weeks I find myself having lots of withdrawal symptoms. Headaches, no energy, no libido, anxiety, sleeplesness. I know it's all part of the game and I am definitely going to beat it, just like you all. If you go through hell, keep going.. Found it here and it's my new slogan these days.
On the other hand, after a lot of reading, I concluded that most of these things are related to low dopamine levels and the symptoms are showing us that our mind is rebalancing these dopamine levels. I know, time will heal all wounds, but isn't there a way we can help out a little?
I was searching for an answer, when I found numerous articles on the internet about the adjusting and structuring meals that contains a lot specific amino accids such as L-tyrosine and L-phnenelaline. One would say that these aminos are key elements in the production of dopamine and retaining them.
To me it sounds like a pretty good idea, but I am not at all a food expert and, probably because of that, I came up with the following questions:
- Main question: would higher levels of amino accids, or other things, actually reduce the amount of time someone needs to get his dopamine levels rebalanced?
- Would it actually be a good thing to drastically raise the amount of certain amino's or would it be better to stick with more time and let the rebalancing process take its natural path?
- If this would work, is it actually a good thing to higher dopamine levels artificial? Or would it even delay the time needed to go through this withdraw period?
- Does anyone have any experience with this?
Looking forward to hear from you guys! Keep up the good work, we'll all be fine in a couple of months!
