> I'd like to try tryptophan again, but I wonder if even a lone 500mg capsule is too much for me as 2.5g caused the dilated pupils and eye sensitivity/blurred vision. But tryptophan did improve my mood/thoughts.
The mydriasis (large pupils) is very likely to be a threshold effect. In other words, so long as you stay below your unique dosing threshold that causes this problem, you should be fine.
I see no reason why you ought not to try a new tryptophan trial, but at a lower dose. You could increase it more slowly than you did before, and see if you can find a dose with maximum benefit and no ocular side effects.
