Larry...others: regarding tryptophan...
Well, there is no doubt that there is an effect after taking my moderate (5oomg, or so) dosage. Upon waking, I generally have a cup of coffee or two, and then put about 500mg into some OJ and swig it down. I feel perked up from the caffein and, inside of about 45 minutes, my mood just feels enhanced to a great degree. I take a good multi three times a day and assume my B's are up to snuff for conversion purposes. I had tried a larger amount (about triple my present dose) and found it sedating and actually uncomfortable. I did not repeat that dosage so I don't know how reliable my response was. I repeat the 500mg. a second time later in the day well after eating lunch (or anything that might contain other amino's). My sleep seems to be better and my mood is just...changed for the better. I will let y'all know how things progress over time. Thanks,Lar, for the trypto. source and your informative posts. Maybe I finally got lucky!
