Ep 96: L-Tyrosine and brain zaps (and cycling)

L-Tyrosine is a powerful nootropic compound. It works by increasing the quantities of 3 powerful neurotransmitters: Dopamine, Epinephrine, and Norepinephrine.

Typically, the result of taking L-Tyrosine is increased mental energy, alertness, and motivation. But for some, they actually don’t require surges in said neurotransmitters, and any additional degree of the three, gives them side effects.

A user complained that L-Tyrosine was giving them what they called: “Brain zaps.” A few users on the nootropics subreddit contended that this actually has to do with a malfunction in Serotonin signaling. I however, don’t think so.

I think what this user is experiencing are mild panic attacks, driven be excessive catecholamine quantities.

In this podcast, we’ll discuss how to avoid this, and the proper cycling technique that allows a user to get the best from L-Tyrosine.
