Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 2 places I know of for tryptophan. One is turkey has lots in it. The other is 5HTP that is a precursor to Tryptophan. if the pathway is inplace in the body then the body will convert the 5HTP into as much Tryptophan as you need. There may be other products out there though. DP > > I used to take Tryptophan to help me sleep until the FDA took it away. It was really good for me. > Where do you live?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hello, I'm a vegetarian so turkey is out of question. In reference to 5HTP, I already tried it and made me feel really ill. Rena - prattdw2000 Tuesday, September 16, 2008 3:58 PM Re: Tryptophan 2 places I know of for tryptophan.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I was struggling with anxiety attacks and my dr. prescribed (of course) lexapro- which made me fell dim and sluggish. I read about 5-htp tried it and loved it. I would suggest it to anyone who is suffering from over-stress, anxiety, edginess. I did not alter my mood or energy level in anyway, it just really helped to take the edge off. I slept better and felt as though I was able to think more rationally.. I did not take it for long period of time ,I would usually take one capsule every other day. I purchased it at my local vitamin shop, On a side note I had a professor for physiological psychology who said that years ago tryptophan was sold over the counter as a mood stabilizer...then along came zoloft and the like and big pharma realized they could make a lot more money off of those mind altering drugs than they could off of turkey horomones. Her theory is that they created a false study shedding a negative light on tryptophan and had it pulled from the shelves thus paving the way for what we have now...well- you know what we have now.... --- On Wed, 9/17/08, evergreengarden <evergreengarden wrote: evergreengarden <evergreengarden Re: Re: Tryptophan Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 12:08 PM Hello, I'm a vegetarian so turkey is out of question.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hi, From what I've read and understand on the Net, Trytophan is legal again now, and/or it can be prescribed by your doctor (?).

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 This made me ill right away. After a while I tried again and it also affected me in a very negative way. The real tryptophan helped me a lot instead. - CHARLES WETZEL Thursday, September 18, 2008 9:34 PM Re: Re: Tryptophan I was struggling with anxiety attacks and my dr. prescribed (of course) lexapro- which made me fell dim and sluggish.
