"The fact that the FDA ban of L-Tryptophan and the Newsweek Prozac cover story occurred within four days of each other.... Yet, to those who understand the effective properties of L- Tryptophan and Prozac, the concurrence seems 'unbelievably coincidental.' The link here is the brain neurotransmitter serotonin---a biochemical nerve signal conductor. The action of Prozac and L-Tryptophan are both involved with serotonin..."

Although this seems like beating a dead horse at this point, and for whatever reason the FDA banned tryptophan, it's now legal and easy to get, which was my point.
