I'm confused, pain killer + L Glutamine + L Tyrosene?

Paulos,

I do not know the answer to this one, perhaps your Doctor or a pharmacist could answer your question.  Sorry.

Agreeing with kitt n maz u need to talk to a medical professional bout dealing with alcohol detox.

Alcohol slows the brain down, if you drink constantly your brain will speed up to compensate. This is fine when you alcohol acting like a brake on your brain but when you remove the brake (alcohol)your brain is suddenly going to fast so you get the shakes etc...

L-Glutamine is a precursor to glutamic acid which acts as a chemical messenger in your brain.... particuraly in short term memory.

L-Tyrosene is precursor to 5-HT which is basically Serotonin. This could be a possible conflict if the vicodin is increasing serotonin levels too. I dont know anything about vicodin assuming its an SSRI. I recommend reading the paitent information leaflet and seein if it says anything about taking vicodin with other Serotonin promoters.

Personnaly though i doubt your body is capable of absorbing that much of the amino acids (Tyrosene and glutamine) if they are in a pill form. So any increase in serotonin from the Tyrosene is probably neglible. Thirdly L-Tyrosene is the chemical in cheese which gives you bad dreams so watch how much cheese you eat whilst taking supplements ;P

Also your product almost certainly contains the R-Enantiomer of Tyrosene and Glutamine and this may have seperate effects form the L-Enantiomer.

Im writing this on knowledge gained from biomedical degree but it was 3 years ago now and im not a doctor so please do your own research and seriously seek professional proper help when giving up alcohol as it one of the most dangerous drugs to discontinue.

I hope this makes sense and helps

Badfish ;p
