I take L tyro with ritalin to avoid the comedown,
FIrst day it didnt make me nauseous, but after that I think I might have OD the second day which is when I felt nauseous.
But today just 500 mg and it still makes me nauseous a few days later
Should I give it some time to leave my system first? I guess im being impatient and im not giving it time to leave, Im 5'2 -105 lbs
Also is it ok to use flax seed as my omega 3
Woudn't take L-tyrosine for comedown of ritalin. Ritalin increases dopamine substantially, and the comedown is the dopamine coming back down to baseline dopamine levels after being exposed to the high levels of dopamine caused by Ritalin.
L-tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine, and raised dopamine levels up when taken. So actually taking L-tyrosine for a comedown off ritalin, could make sense to ease the come down, but usually in reality in just re-ups the ritalin.
When I take an ADD medicine, and I take tyrosine in the beginning, I get cracked out from through the roof dopamine. When I take tyrosine at the end of add medicine I feel terrible too.
-This is because Ritalin already puts a strain on mitochondrial energy output, and you probably aren't taking any mitochondrial anti-oxidants, and when you add the tyrosine at the end, its like you are re-reving your engine when you have already strained your fuel (mitochondrial energy). If you take another ADD dose or ritalin, you will feell fine again because it is a strong medicine that greatly synthetically increases dopamine levels so you wont even feel the strain on the mitochondria (ie. not feeling sick), but l-tyrosine is a pre-cursor and not as powerful, and a requires a few other bodily elements that may have been depleted from ritalin use to form new dopamine production..thus making you feel sick because you are trying to re-rev up an engine that has already been depleted by ritalin. Sorry for the long answer, Im studying for finals and just took adderall. I picture adderall/ritalin as most of your days energy packed into one pill, its like it makes you use all your energy in the time that it is administered.
+ ritalin shouldn't take days to get out of the system, iv seen it last a day and a half, but never multiple days. Id recommend cut the tyrosine when takin ritalin, except in the beginning if you are starting to get tolerant and want a quick solution then i'd recommend tyrosine. Just relax off the stimulants for a day or two, get a lot sleep, take your vitamins, anti-oxidants, lets your body reset and your brain charge, then try it again
++ can use a lot of other stuff for ritalin comedown, but would use relaxants such as kava kava among other if wanting to natural, or benzodiazapines if wanting to go the medical route.
