JLX, I don't have any more appetite on Trypt. than I did on Celexa. I just have more sense of taste!
I take glutamine in the morning with a protein shake. Maybe I should be taking it later in the day??
Since I am in the fitness industry, I know the importance of frequent protein meals in a day, and usually try to eat protein every 3-4 hours, so I'm sure I'm getting at least 500mg Trypt. "naturally".
AND, I know that all amino acids compete with each other for absorption, but a light just went off!! I took Arginine a couple of nights ago, and again one morning (to try to combat sexual s/e of Celexa, that seemed to linger...Arginine really works...it increases nitric oxide). Then today I had a cold sore started!! (Arginine makes the resident Herpes virus replicate) SOOOOOO, I took Lysine today, several times, to halt that Herpes replication. Cold sore stopped dead in it's tracks, already receding (within 12 hours!!).
BUT, most likely all these Amino's are competing and Trypt. not as available. Duh! Jas...you know all this stuff, why don't you think, before you act????????
JLX, thanks for the reminder about Amino's competing. ;)
