I was reading some herbal blurb and it seemed to have a theory about re-uptake inhibitors that I've not seen elsewhere. Something like:
If you inhibit the reuptake of (say) Serotonin, then it hangs around and eventually gets dispersed and you become depleted. [I suppose the post-synaptic receptors getting down-regulated would back this theory]. SO BUY OUR PRODUCT (L-Tyrosine).
Is there anything in this?

I'd really hoped for some advice on this. SalArmy sent me a huge list of links for which I thank him, but I've had no direct response to what I think is an interesting question. Interesting to me anyway

Anything is possible, but is it probable?
The idea seems right; however, too "right" and too simple to be even plausible.
I love it when these arm chair drug/herbal companies make these blanket statements without backing up their arguments with proof. Was there any proof, or references, offered? I supposed not otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question, so chalk this up to just another bad case of hard-sell.
Oh hell to hard-sell ...

Thanks Kazoo you're right, not a reference in sight
