McPac,
I'm happy for you! Do you think that the effect is sustainable over the long term? How much do you take? You take it on an empty stomach, correct? Does one dose provide effectiveness for the entire day, or do you take multiple doses? What time of day do you take the dose(s)?
I ask these questions because it has been on my list for a couple months to try it. I would have tried it already if I could run down to the local nutritional store and buy it off the shelf, but I haven't got around to ordering it online. I need to do so. I plan to conduct a trial of tryptophan (probably 500 mg - 1000 mg/day) by itself taken on an empty stomach.
I also plan to conduct a trial of tryptophan and tyrosine. I intend to take each on an empty stomach (to stack the deck to get more across the blood-brain barrier). Further, my current plan is to take the tryptophan at a different time of day than when I take the tyrosine so that they do not compete with each other for a seat on the amino-acid-transporter bus as they attempt to cross the BB barrier.
Thank you for posting your results.
-- Ron
