Didn't work as expected

I bought this NALT powder as a mood regulator (because L-Tyrosine is said to support norepinephrine and dopamine levels) and alertness enhancer. And I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking it after about 2 weeks when it was no longer good for me and it became noticeably more difficult for my system to process it. Here are my experiences: β€’ IMPROVED MOOD: Good at first; although my body got used to it, there were no benefits. There doesn't seem to be any research on its effect on chronic depression, and it has little effect on moderate to severe depression. Basically if you have ADHD or are a little emotionally depressed this will likely help you but will not replace SSRIs. FOCUS: I was prescribed Adderral for ADHD, but I was looking for something different. something more holistic without all the side effects of traditional medicines. It didn't help me focus at all. I noticed a surge of energy within a few hours of eating, but a severe collapse followed, leading to a corresponding period of rest (ie, a nap). I'm on the extreme spectrum of use (with chronic depression and ADHD) so the usual effects didn't bother me. β€’ TASTE: I simply put the powder on my tongue and washed it down with water. It's very bitter (like crushing a vitamin C pill and taking it straight away) and has a weird aftertaste (but it doesn't last long). However, I have found that it dissolves quickly in water and does not form lumps. β€’ PACKAGING: The product listing shows a large white box; I received a silver bag that was significantly smaller. But I had no problem with the extremely fine powder getting stuck in my teeth or keeping them closed. That aside, BulkSupplements was a pleasure to work with as I felt the product was solidly made and packaged. I simply will not be buying this particular supplement from them again.
