Corafree,
Here's what the website www.healthrecovery.com says about mixing tryptophan with antidepressants.
"Can Tryptophan Be Combined With An SSRI Anti-Depressant?Combing SSRI drugs and tryptophan is inviting a deluge of serotonin into the brain...it's dangerous to do, and in most cases not recommended. However a recent client is taking a very small dose (5 milligrams) of Prozac in conjunction with daily tryptophan and the result has been exactly right for her. Warning: Do not play with this or any combination of tryptophan and anti-depressant drugs. Your doctor MUST be supervising such an experiment."
Is there any way your condition would allow you to get off the Effexor long enough to try it?
