"After trying several SSRI drugs for my low to moderate anxiety and depression... I finally tried Tryptophan. I started with 250mg, a very low dose. IMHO, I think that many people start most drugs and alternative "remedies" at WAY too high a dosage... especially SSRIs, statins and tranqs. I slept well the first night, and woke feeling rested, and without the "cloud" of low-level anxiety and depression... I do NOT believe this was a "placebo" effect. I increased to 500mg, and slept and felt even better! I will stay at this dosage. Those with much more serious anxiety/depression may do better on a higher dose... but I strongly recommend moving up incrementally. I am still looking into what would be the best schedule for this... daily an hour before bedtime... or every other day... but this, for me... is a BIG winner!"
