hi Squigggles...
L-tryptophan is an amino acid that used to be
sold in Canada (no longer is), but I believe
can still be purchased in the U.S.I tried it years ago and found it EXTREMELY
effective as a sleep-aid, actually it was TOO
effective - after taking 2 capsules (was also
taking Anafranil at the time) I went into an
incredibly deep sleep, so deep that I did not
hear neighbours knocking on my door the next
morning. They were concerned for me and got
the door open enough (the chain was on)
to call out to me. I finally woke up in a
daze, hearing voices in the distance calling
me (it was them).So, if you are interested in L-tryptophan,
I'd suggest a talk to your pdoc about how it
would mix with the rest of your meds. I can tell you that I found the experience I had with it rather scary.
