Austinite's "Feel Good" Stack - 2 supplements per day, feel good all day.

[austinite]

Hi austinite,

I ordered your feel good stack and i'm on it now for 2 weeks. I've done some
Research and i have read that it is not so good to take l-tryptophan without l-tyrosine because of some imbalance. Correct me if i am wrong but l-tryptophan= serotonin and l-tyrosine = dopamine . Right ? So i have read that supplementing with serotonin will lead to dopamine defiencies in long term because they compete each other for absorbtion? If you have the time could you clarify these things for me ? Thanks.

Sorry for my crappy english!

No. You can absolutely take it without Tyrosine, in fact, I would avoid tyrosine.

Man I will tell u what austinite! L-THEANINE IS AMAZING! I was given xanax a few weeks ago and used it a few times for what the docs said where panic attacks, which is hard to believe and I replaced it with l-theanine and have felt awesome while on it!!

A bit reluctant to use the tryptophan just yet until I speak to the doc to see if I'm having issues with serotonin uptake or re uptake or low or what, but once I do find out I'll see if the tryptophan works as u have described....

Would it be ok to use this stack along your fat burning one?

all i got to say is WOW! since l-theanine is more like GABA, or at least mimics it in the brain, ive been almost a full week OFF xanax, and feeling awesome!! gotta try the tryptophan and see how it works, allthough ive read a lot of mixing caffeine in with the l-theanine for a great effect as well....

Shouldn't use anything with the fat loss stack.

[TheRedGinger]

Any complications with taking this and your fat loss stack?
Thanks!!

Nope.

Is this sarcasm since it has already been asked on page 1 of the thread? Not being an asshole, just curious on the contradiction. Really appreciate all your posts/research that you contribute here.

One asked if there is complications. There are none. No adverse reactions. The other asked if you should take it alongside the fat-loss stack. The answer is no, if you change my stack, it wouldn't be my stack and I won't support it.

Make sense to you now?

Just wanted to share my results:

I have only been on this for just over a week, but I have noticed more motivation to get things done most specifically at work. I also have felt like my memory has improved. Remembering to do things, or finish tasks at work as well as in my personal life. These aren't exactly the effects I was expecting since the description had different mood related effects. I'm typically a pretty laid back person so I can see why I wouldn't really be much calmer since I am pretty low stress anyway.

Is this a placebo, or would you say these are within the norm?

There are many benefits but your results are not placebo. The overall effect will impact many areas of your lifestyle and can be interpreted in many different ways. For some it is lowering anxiety levels. For others, it may work for the betterment of their relationships and in your case, you seem to be benefiting from improved memory and attention to details/tasks.

Good to hear your results and thank you for sharing. This combo works really well for me as well.

Glad to hear it. I really appreciate you posting this, as well as all of your other informative posts as I've learned a great deal from you.

Austinite:

Is there a point of diminishing return in regard to taking the L-theanine? I ask because ive used this over the last month or so in place of xanax as they both cross the gaba barrier as u described, and it seems like my memory has not been that great, almost to the point where im absentminded at times....and just have an empty mind at times....but at 1000 mlgs if not a bit more daily, it does replace my xanax, which is amazing, not sure if i can use tryptophan, due to migraines and needing that xanax feel in order to slow down my thinking and reduce panic attacks.... So what would ur take be on these questions?

[austinite]

Everyone is different. Any supplement should be halted for some period at some point.

Ok cool sounds good

[jimmyinkedup]

How can I boost this stack ;-)
Bump.....

[Deal Me In]

Can these be combined and capped into one pill taken twice a day? I haven't bought the powder yet so I don't know if volume is a problem. Will the recommended doses fit in a size 0 cap?

[austinite]

^ Yes. And yes (if you don't buy junk with fillers)

Since this stack messes with serotonin levels and reduces stress and anxiety, could it be concluded that it could help with a better sex drive? Possibly even lasting a good bit longer I might add?

[Splifton]

Not to sound like I'm begging, but I look forward to reading more posts from you. It's rare to see someone else who also understands the magnitude of our essential amino acids. I've taken L-tryptophan for quite a while now and I feel nothing compares to it's effectiveness.

Anything is possible. I would not take this and expect that outcome tho.

Improving sexual desire at the neurobiological level is more complicated than simply increasing serotonergic related activities. Dopamine and norepinephrine are heavily involved as well considering they all rely on the 5-HT receptor family. (5-HTR2C)

So i was scurrying around in this section of the forums and came across this post. Its too early to say that this stack eased my depression...which ive come to agree lately that i definitely suffer from to a certain extent, but today seemed very mellow...and i didnt have to fight off and repress any memories. I usually like to use these things before or during lifting to black out n go into rage and workout hard...but today i couldnt tap into it as much. It was a good day and whether it was placebo or not, thank you for this write up.

I'm going to try and run this supplement stack. I've been experience Chronic Dizziness since April, 2015. Nothing has really helped other than SAMe and 5HTP seems to knock down the dizziness where it's more bearable to feel a little more normal. The neurologist I've been seeing had me do so many tests from brain MRI to neck MRI and vestibular rehab therapy but nothing is curing me from the dizziness. He wrote me a referral to the Minnesota Mayo Clinic for it. I'm hoping maybe this stack will help if it is because of a serotonin type of issue or not.

[tempest818]

Wow again i took the stack. Woke up feeling down again...bad memories, angry, and found myself lost in thought again. Took the stack, here i am an hour or so later feeling relaxed and happy and like nothing that has happened matters as much anymore. Still interested if its placebo, or maybe the caffeine i had earlier makes me jittery and energetic...but i feel good. I havent felt good in a while.

[Tpowered]

Thank you, I am definitely going to give this a try..

holy crap i had the same thing happen to me, only to the left side of my head and body, it sucked, found out thru my ENT that i had a crystal broken off in my ear canal, and it had to take time to dissolve...might go the ent route and request an audio test? mine took 2 hrs and the mri with contrast and without, when they did with contrast is when they found the crystal in a different place than was supposed to be and concluded it had broken and was not able to be put back with eply maneuvers and a few others....

Hey Austinite is it alright if I send you a P.M concerning this topic? (L-tryptophan specifically) I did a while ago, but I'm sure you get bombarded by them so I thought I might try one more time.

[Splifton]

Can you please point me to the information about L-tryptophan expressing a serotonin reuptake inhibition on our SERT? I'm honestly clueless on finding the literary jargon explaining this activity. Not saying it's wrong, but I'm really interested in learning more as my original understanding was the complete opposite...

Thank you!!

[hellomycognomen]

I had to stop taking L-Theanine after one month daily use.

It definitely works in giving you a calm mind, however I stopped because I noticed I was not as quick witted as before. I felt like my mind was not as sharp and fast.

For me a fast mind is more important than a calm mind.

[spykemalo]

Not asking if i "should" take this next to anything.
Just want to check for safety.

I'm taking your fat loss stack. And pretty soon will be taking caffeineXtheanine once it arrives. (100mgx200mg, respectively).
Would you see any potential problems with adding L-tryptophan to the mix?

Probably a better question would be if you would see any potential problems coming up by taking the caffeineXtheanine while on the fat burning stack to begin with?
And even then, with the dosages of the caffeineXtheanine that I'll be getting, for me to hit the theanine numbers listed in your stack, I would end up taking 200mg of caffeine x2 daily....in addition to the synephrine.

Would it be wiser for me to just forgo the caffeineXtheanine and and get some theanine by itself, or is there really nothing much to worry about in this case?

[darktime]

Hey Austinite, Seeing as this post is about to be 10 years old, though I'd revisit to see if you still take this/recommend L-Tryptophan & L-Theanine?

Or have you found anything new or similar that you have switched to now that nootropics have become such a big thing?
