Taken from an OLD thread, I saved it for reference when I was cycling off of it.

If by "at once every day" you mean concurrently without adverse reactions, yes. I'll break the various supplements down for you:
Siberian Ginseng supports the adrenals. It also gives you a mild buzz if you're not used to it, but not in a speedy way, just in a general well-being kind of way. You can either take it when you're cycling off the ergogenics, or do as I do and take it while you're on ECA/NYC to extend the period you can take the drugs without adrenal bombing.
L-Tyrosine and L-Phenylalanine are amino acids that are the precursors to epinephrine (also called adrenaline), nor-epinephrine (also called nor-adrenaline), and dopamine, the holy trinity of catecholamines. L-Tyrosine is also great for thyroid support and deepening a natural tan. Constant administration of uppers (as well as hypocaloric states in general) depletes your natural pool of catecholamines, ergo the depression you're experiencing. HDT used to make an awesome Tyrosine/Phenylalanine/DMAE/B complex/etc cocktail, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was. I'll do some looking on the web later and post a followup if I can find it.
...Oh, and if you're prone to anxiety attacks - as I found that I am - too much Tyrosine too often will induce them, so it's best to start with small doses - 1 gram once a day on an empty stomach for example - and work your way up to assess your tolerance.
5HTP, short for 5-hydroxy-tryptophan, is the precursor to yet another neurotransmitter, serotonin, which is involved in mood, sleep, and appetite regulation. Symptoms of a serotonin deficiency are depression, anxiety, trouble sleeping, and carb cravings. After waxing ecstatic about it to my mother for years, she finally started taking it, and she's much happier and more laid back for it. You can read more about it at

Ideally you'd have the L-Tyrosine, L-Phenylalanine, and Ginseng in the morning, because these are somewhat stimulating, then take the 5-HTP nearer to bedtime. The names they're sold under are exactly what they are, and you can buy them online or at most health food stores. I use Twinlab Tyrosine, Solaray and/or Nature's Herbs Siberian Ginseng, and Jarrow 5-HTP. There are plenty of other worthy brands, these are just the ones I buy.
All told, you could probably get by with taking only one at first, and if the depression didn't abate in a week or two, step up your supplementation a notch with the others.
