Two Supps now ... Acetyl-L- Carnitine or ALCAR and L-Tyrosine.
Firstly Acetyl-L- Carnitine.

What is it?
ACETYL-L-CARNITINE, ALC, or ALCAR, which until recently could have been called one of bodybuilding’s most under appreciated supplements, is now quickly gaining popularity for many of its impressive benefits.
L-carnitine is very similar to the nonessential amino acid carnitine. It performs some of the same functions, such as helping metabolize food into energy.
What does it do?
This powerful bodybuilding super nutrient has also been shown in studies to help increase fat metabolism, prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue, increase testosterone levels, and increase growth hormone levels, as well as being a potent nootropic, enhancing memory and learning. Additional studies have also shown that ALCAR can actually help to shrink the size of subcutaneous fat cells. Supplementing with Acetyl L-Carnitine-both before and after an intense workout-can help reduce muscle soreness while greatly enhancing the muscles ability to recuperate and repair itself. ALC is also said to greatly improve sleep quality and mood.
ALC transfers long-chain fatty acids, such as triglycerides into mitochondria (a cell's energy powerhouse), where they may be oxidized to produce energyhelping to burn fat. It also increases energy, and improves resistance to muscle fatigue.
Key benefits include:
# May help raise testosterone.
# May help raise growth hormone.
# May help shrink existing fat cells.
# Can increase muscle mass and decrease fat storage by means of nutrient partitioning.
# Increases fat metabolism.
# Increases Endurance.
# Increases utilization of fatty acids as energy.
# Improves sleep, mood, and mental function.
Who needs it?
Anyone seeking to maximize performance, decrease fat mass, or enhance their memory and learning capacity. ALAR has a tremendous safety profile, and is used by young and old alike.

I have noticed my mood much better with this and also the other sup I will mention soon. This sup has also been PROVEN to help Autistic sufferer's .. will find the link, its on a UK site ... I started takeing it as I have Aspergers and it does help.
Next we have L-Tyrosine
What is it?
Tyrosine is one of the non-essential amino acids (can be manufactured by the body) and has powerful physiological effects when both administered alone and provided in high concentrations.
What does it do?
Tyrosine is an amino acid and nutrient precursor for approximately 90% of the brain's 3 stimulatory catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine).
For a dietary neurotransmitter precursor to be important:
# Blood concentrations must vary with dietary intake.
# It must cross the blood brain barrier.
# Its transport systems must be able to accommodate more precursor than what is regularly available.
# The levels of the precursor are what limit neurotransmitter formation.
Since tyrosine meets these qualifications, it's evident that a large increase in dietary tyrosine will lead to increases in both brain and peripheral catecholamine concentrations. Human studies confirm that large doses of tyrosine (33mg/kg, 3x per day) can increase blood and urinary catecholamines by up to 25%.
By increasing brain neurotransmitter concentrations, tyrosine can help increase attention and combat performance decrements during sustained efforts, especially when sleep deprived. In addition to this mild stimulant effect, tyrosine may act as an "anti-stress supplement", suppressing rises in cortisol and the norepinephrine depletion associated with the stress response. Finally, tyrosine supplementation may reduce reaction time.

I started to take this to increase my dopamine and norepinephrin and can feel the difference as I'm so much more happy and like I'm a new person at times.
Currently I'm comming off Cipralex from 20Mg daily to what I take now 10Mg which will be dropped again soon to 5mg ... during this time I have stopepd takeing Dothipin/Dosulepin 25MG and I do feel the above two supps have helped me in this dosage change ... I have had no side effects and feel better than when I was on the drugs.
I think it goes hand in hand with me comming off the medication and takeing these two supps so I cant give a ACCURATE verdict for their usage on their own BUT I would recommend these to anyone wanting to improve their mental well being and they work great for fitness freaks also [like me].
