I went to the doctor. He thought that the chance that I had Serotonin Syndrome from the dosage I took was low but seemed to acknowledge the possibility. He feels the symptoms will resolve themselves.
I'm feeling somewhat better, four days after the initial symptoms. Still some muscle pain and sensitivity to light.
The doctor said that Tryptophan, in supplement form, doesn't cross the BBB, which I thought was inaccurate.
At this point, I am quite apprehensive about taking tryptophan (or other supplements for that matter) to help my mood/anxiety. Sadly, I do think I had some improvement while taking the tryptophan.
He suggested that after I feel better, besides CBT, we might explore Buspar, Klonopin and Citalopram. I would like to stay away from Pharma (that's why I tried Tryptophan in the first place, but now I'm concerned about self-medicating.
