I was given tyrosine from my DR because he told me that my dopamine levels were low in my blood test. I am suppose to take 2 tablets a day but I can't stand the feeling I get when I talk them in the morning. I feel like I am on an adrenalin high. I feel jittery & fluttery in my chest. Has anyone taken these & have had side effects from them?

Hi Winter,

From what I understand tyrosine is an amino acid. I am not familiar with it myself. But hopefully somebody else knows more about it. Have you told the doctor that you are having side effects? If so, what did they say?

I hope that it works for you. Let us know how it goes.

Hugs Karen

No I haven't told him yet but I plan on it. I was on an antidepressant about 4 years ago & I feel the same effects until I cut down the dosage. I cut down the dosage of tyrosine but I still have the same side effects

Yeah, I think talking to your doctor about it would be a good idea. Maybe it just isn't the right supplement for you, but maybe the side effects will go away. Your doctor would know the best thing to do. I hope that it ends up working for you or that you find something that does.

Best wishes,

Hugs, Karen
