i started tryptophan. I didnt really expect anything to happen. I mean ive gone through 5htp with vit. b-6, sam-e, st johns wort, rhodiola, sceletium- all thought to boost serotonin- they did absolutely nothing. SSRIs made me tired, couldnt stand the sedation, went through all of them!
So About 20 min after my first dose of about 1000mg, it was light the light bulb just turned on inside of my head. The following week was the same. Anxiety and ocd were nil. Maybe this is the godsend that ive been waiting for! It seems too good to be true!!
Im taking wellbutrin with the tryptophan and was wondering if anyone knows if it is ok?

I don't know whether or not it's ok to take the 2 together. But I would probably just go by how I feel. As long as this combo is working, I would stick with it. I guess to get a more definitive answer you would have to check with your doc.

BTW, which tryptophan product did you purchase? Have you noticed a tendency to crave oats, or the urge to whinny? ;-)

I'd like follow-ups just about tryptophan to be redirected to Psycho-Babble Alternative. Here's a link:
