Again, thank you all.
From what I've read, taking L-tryptophan (different from just dietary tryptophan?) as a supppliment with an SSRI runs the rist of serotonin syndrome...to much serotonin which can be fatal. However, there are studies that show L-Try suppliments in small amounts (500-1000mg) can acutally enhance or quicken the effects of SSRIs but one must be very careful.
I'm just not sure what to do at this point. The Aminos and L-Tryp are helping...the anxiety attacks aren't as bad, the depression isn't quite as intense and it helps me sleep...it's been 3 weeks and I'm hoping that maybe it gets better over time but the depression is still pretty heavy and I'm just not sure it's enough. The thought of trying another AD scares the hell out of me. I'll try and stick it out for a while yet.
