New Theories / Re: Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)

I am MAOA R297R(-), COMT V158M(-/-), COMT H62H(-/-) and VDR Taq(+/+), a typical case of low dopamine. I've posted my entire methylation profile here before.
You said you had severe anxiety from Tyrosine. I wonder if you are low on serotonin as well, since serotonin also needs BH4, VB6 and others (very similar to Dopamine) to be produced from tryptophan.
For me, taking 5-htp (12hr time-released) increase my serotonin, calms me down from anxiety, and gives me more energy (by channeling bh4 for dopamine generation).
Serotonin does not require COMT to be metabolized, so likely you are fine.
