Interestingly, examine.com only talks about the synergy of Arginine and Lysine for Growth Hormone release:

Owen- don't mean to beat a dead horse but I just found this interesting study that was done with lysine. Schizophrenics were given 6 grams of lysine a day for 4 weeks. Lysine did not effect Arginine levels.
. Furthermore, the L-lysine treatment was not found to induce any adverse side effects including extrapyramidal effects. Neither was L-lysine treatment found to significantly alter blood concentration of any of the other amino acids analysed, such as citrulline, arginine, proline, glutamate and alanine.
