Hello!!
Well, I have to say I still take my L-Tryp and have fantastic results. Not only does it keep me calm, I am convinced that is is affecting my stress/cortisol level. I talked to my doc about it and he seems to think it could. The reason I say this is because when I am taking it consistantly I seem to lose weight around my mid-section! I have tested this a few times and WHAM, when I am back on it the weight starts to come off... ANOTHER PLUS!
ALso, DG, you said yo ustill have problems sleeping. I started taking this for sleep.. my suggestion is to keep yoru moring dose, but go ahead and take an evening dose (500mgs) at least an hour before bedtime. The reason some folks have nightmares is that they are probably taking it too close to bedtime. I learned that the hard way.
For me, 1000mgs a day is perfect. I take 500mgs in the morning on an empty stomach with my vitamins, then 500mgs at least an hour after eating dinner and an hour before bedtime.
I tried the 5htp and for some reason I didn't feel a thing???
I hope my input helps!!
