User Reviews for l-tryptophan

I took this to help with sleep and after a few days, became incredibly dizzy-never experienced anything like this. There are known very dangerous side effects and I don't believe it's as harmless as they claim

a client had tried everything out in the market foe sleep treatment; and the situation kept getting worse. I suggested L-Tryptophan. She has been taking it for the past 2 months and her sleep quality has improved tremendously.

I suffered from very severe and debilitating migraines since I was a 10 years old. After many years dealing with this condition, at 48 I found myself taking Imitrex 20 days per month. Three months ago,after reading about tryptophan, I began taking 5-HTP The result is amazing sice I reduced my Imitrex intake to only 4 to 5 days per month. It worked incredible well for me.

I tried every medication, either over the counter or prescription, this is by far the most effective! better mood and concentration, couldnt ask for more in a supplement

I take 100mg a night to help me sleep. This is in accordance with the advice of my naturopath. I had been having trouble sleeping and started taking Xanax to get to sleep and stay asleep. I no longer take the Xanax. It was easy to get off the Xanax by taking the L-Tryptophan. However I was only taking one-half pill of the smallest dose of Xanax. For someone who's taking a large dose of Xanax and wants to stop, L-Tryptophan might not work!

IT CAUSES PROTRACTED INTENSE COLORED DREAMS-AND HAS A CURIOUS EFFECT OF INTENSELY DEEPENING EMPATHIC AND TELEPATHIC SENSITIVITIES IN THOSE THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY USED HALLUCINOGENIC COMPOUNDS

I have Insomnia for over a year now (could not sleep at all). Offcourse used sleeping pills and my doctor discribed anti-depressiva. But i don't have a depression so i don't want to take them..Only one thing helps and that is L Tryptophan (800 - 1000mg). (Tried 5HTP as well). It puts me to sleep! 6 hours sleep for me know! Little bit side effects like: sometimes a little sleepy during the day, headache.. but then you need to adjust your dose less.

decreased the pre Parkinsonian tremor

Migraine suffer for 40 years and having cluster Headaches every day, I discovered this last week only been on it three days and not one headache. To not have any pain for three days is like a breath of fresh air. I continue to monitor the results.

Was able to STOP PAXIL while taking several grams of this (JUST ENOUGH TO STOP THE HEADACHES) over several months while tapering after about 8 weeks down to just a gram a day.

I have been able to sleep the whole night through for up to 6hrs

I believe this herb is more efficient and safer than prescribe medicine.

I take this for migraine and seasonal depression. Works extremely well for both. Not happy with the side effects though; increased skin pigmentation, I look like Im getting a tan and, my hair is shedding and is always really greasy.

I don't know if like it yet. Its only day two. What I can say is I felt deeply relaxed on night one. And fell asleep, which is usually a difficult feat. I also take lamictal 100mg in mornings. Anyhow, my phone went off and I woke then after that I was angry and agitated, I didn't sleep restfully. Also for day one I took all three pills should slowly eased into it. Tonight I took one pill and magnesium, I feel nice and relaxed. Although I screamed at my boyfriend earlier this evening, so I don't know if its helping with mood just yet. I like the mellow feeling have right now from one pill. Read More Read Less

I have a hard time going to sleep most nights. I have tried several natural supplements because I don't want to rely products such as AMBIENE, But I am often drowsy for several hours the morning after I take JARROW SLEEP OPTIMIZER with L-Tryptophan. I wondered if this a common side effect.

There are 666 mg of L-Tryptophan in Alteril sleep aid. I am experiencing a lot of flatulence and am wondering if this is the cause. Help!!!

I went off my anti-depression meds. I wanted a natural solution. I was told to take 1000 mg of L-tryptophan It makes me really sick to my stomic. I really wanted a alternative.

Suffered strong feelings of depression on this. I couldn't find anything that said this was a side effect (?) Took the dose WAY down and still felt depressed. Also has some dizziness as well. Felt better after getting off of it. Helped me sleep but felt too zoned out and depressed during the day to continue.

It gave me severe diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
