Abstract: Methods of using amino acid precursors of the serotonin and catecholamine neurotransmitter systems and laboratory urinary assay of serotonin and catecholamine neurotransmitter levels for optimal treatment of transporters for neurotransmitters, and or neurotransmitter dysfunction and dysfunction of systems regulated or controlled by the serotonin and/or catecholamine neurotransmitter systems. The methods may also include determining a urinary neurotransmitter phase response to a change in dosing of supplemental amino acid precursors of the serotonin and catecholamine neurotransmitters to optimally treat neurotransmitter transporters, neurotransmitter dysfunction and dysfunction of systems regulated or controlled by the serotonin and/or catecholamine neurotransmitter systems.

Abstract: A method of treating neurotransmitter dysfunction in a patient by optimizing catecholamine levels by administration of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa or Dopa) precursors in combination with a source of L-Dopa. The dopa precursor is preferably administered in such quantities such that the amount of dopa from the dopa precursors does not fluctuate and affect outcomes in the synthesis of dopamine from dopa administration. The dopa precursor source is preferably tyrosine, but may alternatively be phenylalanine, N-acetyl-tyrosine, any active isomer thereof, or any other dopa precursor. The source of L-Dopa may include any natural or synthetic source, including, but not limited to, Mucuna pruriens.

Abstract: The comprehensive pharmacologic therapy for treatment of obesity is a procedure which involves the administration of a desired therapeutic range of Diethylpropion and/or Phentermine in combination with a SSRI medication and nutritional supplementation for brief and long durations which may be 12 months or more. The preferred procedure involves the administration of drugs in combination which are identified as: Citalopram (Celexa) and Phentermine; Citalopram (Celexa) and Diethylpropion; Citalopram (Celexa), Phentermine, and Diethylpropion. In addition nutritional supplementation such as a multivitamin, 5-Hydroxytryptophan, vitamin B6, vitamin C, Tyrosine, Calcium, and Lysine may be used to enhance the performance of the weight loss treatment program.

Abstract: A method of treating neurotransmitter dysfunction in a patient. The method includes the step of administering an amino acid precursor of a catecholamine in a balanced and effective therapeutic range. The catecholamine precursor is preferably L-dopa, but may alternatively be tyrosine, D,L-Phenylalanine or an active isomer thereof, and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine or other amino acid precursor of L-dopa. An amino acid precursor of serotonin in an effective therapeutic range, is also administered. The serotonin precursor is preferably 5-HTP, but may alternatively be tryptophan. At least one cofactor is also preferably administered. Cofactor options include Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Folate, and Cysteine. A method of periodic administration and patient checking is also disclosed.

Abstract: The comprehensive pharmacologic therapy for treatment of obesity including Cysteine is a procedure which involves the administration of a desired therapeutic range of Diethylpropion and/or Phentermine in combination with a SSRI medication and nutritional supplementation for brief and long durations which may be 12 months or more. The preferred procedure involves the administration of drugs in combination which are identified as: Citalopram (Celexa) and Phentermine; Citalopram (Celexa) and Diethylpropion; Citalopram (Celexa), Phentermine, and Diethylpropion. In addition nutritional supplementation such as a multivitamin, 5-Hydroxytryptophan, Cysteine, vitamin B6, vitamin C, Tyrosine, Calcium, and Lysine may be used to enhance the performance of the weight loss treatment program.
