I'm contemplating trying some tryptothan as an add-on to NADH (which is working well for me already) to avoid serotonin depletion.
However, I seem to be fairly sensitive to serotonin - had pretty nasty akathisia on only (IIRC) 100mg or so of sertraline last year.
What would be a good starting dose of tryptothan if "playing it safe" Lar?
