Sam-e

I know we've talked some about it in the past but I never really payed attention . Oops :/
Well I've decided I want to give it a try.
Question:
How long does it take to start noticing it working?
I got some L-tyrosine as well .
I wasn't going to take it because it's contraindicated with thyroid disorder (I don't have a thyroid).
But I did some further research and found it can be good as support to thyroid hormone. Not mention the other benefits. So sounds like a win/win.
So we will see what that does.
The reason I'm wanting to try something on my 12 hr work shifts, I start to fade BAD in the afternoons.
My mental clarity turns into zombie trance disorientation. My eyes are bothering me too. They are so so strained.
My concentration just isn't where it should be.
Im hoping these supplements can help me.
Any other suggestions are welcome!
Sorry I'm not on as much.
Just living my sober (getting close to 60 days!!) life!!
Hope everyone is well!

I have not researched what I take and your thyroid situation, but in addition to tyrosine, I use DLPA and DMAE. In addition to helping me focus, the DLPA helps with chronic pain.

Wow !
So you take 4000mg Vit C?
I've been wondering about taking more. I was taking 1000mg and cut to 500 but I wondered if higher doses would be useful.
Maybe I'll try more C too then.
I already take Bs, multis, D3, and just added these two today.
I'm honestly wondering if I'm dehydrated though.
I think I'm going to call dr Monday and see about getting some in depth lab work.
I have a gut feeling something's off.
I also still have that pain near my liver :(
So I don't know
Guess I should see what my doctor says

Hi-  It can take a couple of weeks to notice and the effect is subtle but you'll notice it in your mood.

I take L theanine everyday. It's hard to find so look on Amazon.  It has a lot of different functions so look it up if you want; there are so many...

B Vits will help energy as well as L tyrosine and Vit C. The recommended dose of Vit C is only enough to keep a person from getting scurvy. I take 4000mg a day and I swear it makes me happy!   Be sure you eat a healthy diet, as well.    Good luck-
