I have been everywhere, no one sales it anymore. I think its banned because of liver compicationz, like back in 1989 when they took off l-tyrophoen or what ever you call the serotonin precusure.

Hi, R.J.
It is not banned in the U.S. (I assume that is where you are from based on your tryptophan reference.) I have mostly seen it in some combination formulas recently. I agree with you. It seems to have fallen out of favor since reports of liver damage with high doses came out a few years ago. Still, it seems safer to me than alcohol.
If you can't find it at a local store, you can easily obtain it on the Internet.
Peace,
Bryn

Whole Foods carries it (Gaia Herbs and Herb Pharm (Pharma Kava) brands). http://www.iherb.com has a few brands, too.
I've tried the Herb Pharm and Gaia Herbs brands, and I definitely prefer Gaia Herbs between the two. It's more expensive, but also more potent...so it works out.
Best,
