I've been wondering where you got all that knowledge coop, so thank you
Im curious about this l-dopa. It's in Test Powder. I was taking it in middle part of the day. I seem to have an attitude problem & like you say Conny, just zoned out.
Whats thoughts on this?
You have unquestionably depleted brain serotonin at this stage. Stop using HGHPro for at least 2 months and get on some 5HTP.
how does mucuna deplete serotonin over time? how would one dose tryptophan or 5htp to recover from this and/or help prevent it? actual dosage/mg wise as well as timing...empty stomach at night to avoid lethargy during the day? if one is taking the mucuna at night, would this interfere with the serotonin production by jacking up dopamine?2 months on, 1 month off is a good starting point. The effects on prolactin are pretty much immediate, so you can use it right at the start of PCT. If you co-supplement with 5HTP, you can probably go up to 3 months on l-dopa if the dose is low.
Did he say not to mix them in this thread and I'm just not seeing it or was it somewhere else? Just curious what the context was, but typically stimulants are going to have an effect on dopamine transmission. It depends on the stimulant (e.g. caffeine vs amphetamine and everything in between) but they can cause dopamine release, inhibit the metabolism or reuptake of dopamine that has been released, or both. If you're drinking coffee or a pre-workout and taking an l-dopa supplement with a reasonable dose, then you're probably fine, although I'd personally still split them up like mentioned above. You'll get into trouble though if you're taking an l-dopa dose close to whatever the threshold is that causes side effects and using a stimulant at the same time which might put you over that threshold.Coop doesn't really post much anymore and is most assuredly busy during this pandemic, so I wouldn't expect that he'll actually reply.
@Aleksandar37 might be able to tell you.

Again, depends on what kind of stimulant we're talking about. The effects of caffeine aren't really because of any dopamine release, but rather the interaction with adenosine receptors*Raises hand*
If stimulants effect dopamine that way, why do things like MP/L-Dopa make one sleepy or "dopey" when taken alone?
Hmm, I assumed so, since a lot of MP supps are recommended before bed. When I take it MP by itself it makes me kind of drowsy but I remember original C4 had L-Dopa along with caffeine and DMAA and that stuff used to get me lit up. Also, doesn't heroine/opiates effect dopamine as well?And do they cause drowsiness in most people? I thought insomnia was more common with these.
I thought MP has more than just dopaminergic properties though. Like I thought it contained some 5-HTP. And the timing might have more to do what the supplement claims to help with, for example increasing HGH.Hmm, I assumed so, since a lot of MP supps are recommended before bed.

MP is like melatonin for me. both relaxe me but if I take rght before bed both mess with my sleep...if I take 2 hours before bed good to go.Hmm, I assumed so, since a lot of MP supps are recommended before bed.

Lots of old names ITT. Made the mistake of going down the rabbit hole further and seeing names like Breezy, Celorza, Rodja, Distilled Water, DJBeanPole etc.Epic bump. What I want to know us what half the guys ITT did to get banned.
Was T-Bone in here? I miss that snark.Lots of old names ITT. Made the mistake of going down the rabbit hole and seeing names like Breezy, Celorza, Rodja, Distilled Water, DJBeanPole etc.
Anyway
Good ol' T Bone. Haven't heard from him since he got banned. Hope hes doing OK.Was T-Bone in here? I miss that snark.
