Hi, I have tried to find out results of the tyrosine trial, only reply is that the trial is closed. Does anyone know of the results or tried Tyrosine.
Also have noticed a reduction in rls on colder nights ie winter, thinking of major cooling next summer if still have reduced rls this winter.
Has anyone tried Tyrosine / cooler nights

Re: Has anyone tried Tyrosine / cooler nights
I know that tyrosine is one of the amino acids and there have been a few posts with regards to the benefits of amino acids.
As with just about everything to do with this disease - what helps some does not help others.
If you do a search for amino acids you may come up with a few threads on the subject, however it can be quite laborious to go through each one individually.
I also prefer the cool, and before my symptoms were helped with medications one of my methods was to use a bucket of really icy water, legs in it up to the knees and stay there as long as possible, perhaps a half hour. This sometimes gave enough relief to get to sleep - in the days when sleep was easier to find.

Re: Has anyone tried Tyrosine / cooler nights
stever - if you have a jmoment, please search on it. A guy used to post here a lot. His wife used it successfully. and he posted a lot of info on how, when, doses, etc. I tried it and thought that I was able to slightly reduce me meds - but mine is very severe, so I wouldn't expect it to work completely.

Re: Has anyone tried Tyrosine / cooler nights
Hi: I tried Tyrosine for a couple months, I didn't notice any change in the RLS, but I'm sure you have to take it for a long time.
Re: Has anyone tried Tyrosine / cooler nights
Ive been taking one tyrosine/a day, first trhing in the am. I took 3 caps, one day, and didnt sleep that nite,but once a day is no problem. I cant say its helped yet, but Ill keep taking it, and let you know if it helps.
Re: Has anyone tried Tyrosine / cooler nights
I have just started trying a combination of L-Tyrosine, 5-HTP and Mars/Venus Super Minerals for Women that has lithium as one of the ingredients. I'm taking these three in combination at about 5:00 at night. Then I take my usual dose of ropinerole about 8:00. The ropinerole alone was not working every night and I didn't want to take more because it made me so drowsy. This combination is working great. I'm not sure which of the supplements is doing the trick or whether it's the combination.

Hi ktaberski
How long has it been working? Have you tried the tyrosine alone?
