Ah, so is tryptophan not worth taking if I already have nice high melatonin levels from the darkness therapy? I think it was vaguely on my list of "might be worth trying one day".
Thanks everyone, appreciated.
I take a SSRI. Am I right in understanding you can't take tryptophan if so?
If melatonin levels are good, you could still benefit from increased serotonin levels from tryptophan, which can help you relax. Try small amounts 500mg ??
