I was searching around for l-tryptophan and noticed you can now buy the real stuff in the USA. Before it was just that 5-htp stuff. My question is does it actually work?
I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories about how L-tryptophan was pulled of the market because of a bad batch. But, 5 days later paxil came out. I ordered some anyway just out of curiosity and wanted to get your guys thoughts.
My doctor recommended it to me when I was having problems sleeping. It worked really well for me, got me back on a sleeping schedule/sleeping through the night. My doctor put me on 1000mg after breakfast and 1000mg after lunch to get me started, then after I got back to sleeping regularly again I took only 500mg after breakfast and lunch for another week.
