Sometimes I like to take DL-phenylalanine, which usually has some modest effect, but rarely anything that I would consider overwhelming. In most cases, it appears to just give me a little added focus and not much else -- kind of boring, but not worthless. Sometimes it actually makes me feel worse by inhibiting my verbal abilities and causing a slight tension. On a couple occasions, however, I've found it to produce euphoric, almost hypomanic results, which can be quite enjoyable, albeit potentially stressful, depending on how strong they come on. In any case, I'm dying to know why this tends to happen on some occasions but not on others. My guess is that it has something to do with the conversion to phenylethylamine, yet I haven't the slightest clue as to why this occurs so infrequently. Anyone have any ideas?
