From my research, the amino acids I was combining have certain properties that complement or boost the effectiveness of each other. For example, DL-Phenylalanine and a B-complex vitamin boosts the effectiveness of the L-Tryptophan.
I don't take the higher dosages any longer. During my tapering process and the month after total withdrawal I did, but now I take less than half of that original dosage. It's best to try it and seek your own best levels. It is not an exact science and you may need less for effectiveness. I started at such a high dosage of Klonopin and I wanted to aggressively taper so the higher dosages of amino acids helped me.
> In taking your aminos, do you take all of them (tryptophan, Dl-phenylalanine, etc) at the same time or do you take the Tryptophan (for example) a few hours before the others to prevent the aminos competing with each other just as they might if you took them with a protein meal? Also ow long did you take the aminos for when tapering the Klonopin and do you still take them? 300mg Tryptophan seems pretty high! But I'm glad it's worked for you!
