I've been using phenylethylamine, a compound found in chocolate, which is used as an appetite suppressant, and to increase mood. I find it to be very effective in both areas, feeling more alert, yet calmer. So far, I'm taking only a very low dose, 100 mg with ginkgo biloba, and 15 minutes later another 50 mg Phenylethylamine, and then repeat around 1 or 2 pm. It seems to have the least side effects - even better then Acetyl-L-Carnitine which would increase anxiety, and now after periodic use for five years actually makes it me sleepy!
